Hi,
I am evaluting the teleric reporting control for a browser based application - where large # of reports are involved. There would be few specific reports which might need the custom paper size and to be printed on specific printer. Custom paper size is possible to set in report designer as well as during run time. Now I am wondering - whether a specific printer name be set during run time - so that user does not have to select it when ever he prints the report.



Thanks
Ketan Patel

Hi Ketan,

The short answer would be no, there is no way to list the available printers on the client as this would be a security flaw.

Steve,

In OOB with elevated right, is it possible to list the printer? If possible, can I remember the printer used to a specific report, and print it directly next time?

Hello James,

User preferences are not part of Telerik Reporting and if SOOB full trusted app allows you to list or save the printers, then you can provide the PrinterSettings to the ReportProcessor and use ReportProcessor.PrintReport Method from our public API to print.
