Direct Report Printing from Web Application

devoas

Hi,

Is there any way, we can implement in Web Report to directly print the Report to default Printer without preview. Sometime different documents like Invoice, Vouchers needs directly to be printed and doings this from Preview, it takes 2-3 clicks before its goes to print. Any idea.

Thanks.

web browser can do that, install add-ons 'Seamless Print'

or google with keyword "kiosk printing"

Thanks Ipong, I have already added --kiosk-printing in Chrome shortcut but still I still need to preview the report and click print button select - Print From Browser and then it print directly to printer and open another tab/windows thru which google printed. To return back, need to closed that tab/window. Any further advise to get output silently right from Print Button on my Form - without getting preview.

yes, preview window still appears, but automatically print.

create a shortcut with target location :
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk-printing --allow-running-insecure-content --disable-scripted-print-throttling --disable-gdi-text-printing http://localhost/


in firefox, install 'seamless print' add-ons , no preview window and automatic printing (i tried one year ago, don't know with current version of firefox and seamless print)

For experimental purpose

1. asp.net code :
FastReport.Web.WebReport wr = new FastReport.Web.WebReport();
wr.SinglePage = true;

2. html page :

<input type="button" value="Print" onclick="btnPrint();" />
<script type="text/javascript">
    function btnPrint () {
        var content = document.getElementById("frbody");
        var print = window.open("", "", "left=0,top=0,width=100,height=100,toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,status=0");
        print.document.write("<title>POPUP PRINT</title>" + content.innerHTML);
        print.document.close();
        print.focus();
        print.print();
        print.close();
    }
</script>
