I am trying to set default print settings for a report on Reporting services.
I need to make to make a page print out on landscape by default.
I cant seem to find this option anywhere.
I have a report that needs to be on landscape, but am only limited to printing portrait style when I render a PDF report in reporting services. Is it possible to render a report in landscape or even better, size the PDF via reporting services.
Eytan
I have reports, set to print on Landscape and Legal ie 14 * 8.5. However, when certain users try to print the report, it prints it in Letter, even though the report is set to print in legal /landscape.
The strange part is that for most users it prints correctly in legal, only for some it is on letter. Any idea why this would happen?
I have a report that I need to develop in landscape format. Also I need it to be landscape when converting to PDF and taking printouts. let me know the exact height and width measurements in inches for the report and report body?
I need the margin to be 0.5 inch.
Hello,
I am trying to print a report in landscape mode from VS 2003 from designer preview or at run time. The users don't want to change a mode manually. I tried to make width 11 or 11.5 in and height 8.5in with zero margins and 0.5in (tried a lot of combinations) - doesn't work! still printing in portrait. Please help! Thank you
Hello
I have a report which I can print on legal paper, once I choose the landscape settings on print menu. When the same report is set to export to a file share in pdf format, it renders in portrait format. Is it possible to have the pdf document look like the landscape view so that the user can just hit print.
Thanks

I've thrown together a homegrown Reporting Services viewer that is basically a wrapper for a browser control. It will reside in our app alongside the Crystal report viewer until we have phased out Crystal.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUPDATE #2: When it said "Do you want to install Microsoft SQL Server" I said "yes" and that caused it to work. I exited and re-ran and now the print runs w/o the "install SQL Server" (If the prompt had said "Do you want to install the print dialog" we wouldn't be having this discussion...)
UPDATE: After posting this i discovered that the same thing occurs when attempting to print the report direct from IE6: First a dialog pops up "Do you want to install this software?" Name: Microsoft SQL Server. When I click "Don't Install" I get the dialog "unable to load client print control." Since this happens direct from IE6 I suspect it's browser settings. I'll resume tomorrow and post a followup.
My WinForm C# app integrates Reporting Services by calling them from WebBrowser controls. The problem is attempts to print cause a dialog: "unable to load client print control."
I've read prior posts that say "enable Active-X in your browser" - I don't know how to do that from a WebBrowser control.
Any ideas how to support Reporting Services "Print" from within a WebBrowser control?

My company has a .Net app that embeds the reportwriter for displaying (and printing) reports. This seems to work fine visa vis printing reports in landscape mode, although odly if you look at the printer properties it SAYS it is priting in portrait. In any case, the problem comes when this default reportwriter isn't used but rather an rdl file is generated programmatically. No matter what width and height settings we use, the document unfailingly prints in portrait mode. I've looked to see whether there is any way to force the printer mode, but it seems there isn't, at least not through an rdl. Or what SHOULD work (setting the width larger than the heigh) does not. I'm wondering if anyone else here has run into difficulties like this if there are any solutions or places I might look for answers? Thanks!

1. We have been using Sql Server 2008 R2 and its reporting services engine.
In the application we used Report Viewer (version 9).
When the report is taken for the first time, couple of messages pops up.
a. Unable to Load print control
b. Install Sql Server Reporting Services 2008 R2.
These messages are fine, but we noticed that the second message is not consistent. When the application is deployed in staging server which is as same as the production server except for the power (CPU, RAM), the second message is "Install Sql Server 2008". Why is this happening?
2. To support IE 11, we upgraded the Report viewer to version 11. Now the messages are different.
a. Printing is not available. Verify that ActiveX is enabled or try using IE from the desktop
b. Install Sql Server Reporting Services 2008 R2. (Here again when deployed in staging server it says "Install Sql Server 2008").
Paper is 21cm x 9cmPrinter is Epson LX-300..When I set this paper size, SSRS turns orientation to landscape and prints as if clockwise right rotated!I tried creating custom paper on print server options without success. I also tried setting the same paper size in Report Builder and Print Server but failed again.

We are using Reporting Services 2000.
The print button that is present in the browser is working just fine for some users.
But some users are complaining that on clicking the print button their system restarts.
Some other users are also getting the error "An error occurred during printing. (0x80004005)"
However on closing the browser and opening the report in it again this issue is resolved.
So, the main concern is "Restart of the machine on click of the PRINT icon in reports viewed in some application browser."
Please help!!
In a new ssrs 2008 report that uses sql server 2012, I am suppose to create a report that prints on both sides of the same paper. The first side of the report will display custom data with a mailing address for the customer.
The second side (back side of the paper) will contain generic information. The second side of the paper will contain areas for the users within my large company to fill out and return to the user via inter-office mail.
Thus my question is can this happen in an SSRS 2008 report to print in a PDF and/or Word document on both sides of the paper? If this is possible would you tell me if the paper needs to be exported to PDF, Word, or if this can on both format(s)? If so, any reference how to accomplish this goal?
If this is not possible in SSRS 2008, is printing on both sides of the paper possible in ssrs 2008 r2 or ssrs 2012?
What version of ssrs report would work, and if the print (export) needs to be a PDF, Word, or either format?
Is there a support of printing report with matrix that is set to RTL (LayoutDirection) which displays in ReportViewr control with property RightToLeft set to RightToLeft.Yes in DisplayMode = PrintLayout.
The report looks fine in the report viewr in DisplayMode = Normal, but when goes to PrintLayout, it seems that the left data on page is rendered first.
Example: This is the display of the report viewer, I would like to print the columns by the same order it displays here:
And this is the result when clicking Print Preview: the first page displays the data of the last columns and if i go to the last page (page 9) i will see the data of the first column as displays in the previous gif, I don't have a clue why?
Is there a property that can be set to force the print layout to render RTL. Anyway, it seem to me as a bug since the Report Viewer displays the data correctly and renders the data RTL as expected.
I have created web based ssrs report with Report viewer and I am trying to add Command button to print result of report reside in ReportViewer and I have worked with code to generate.

We have recently upgraded our .Net web application from a windows 2003 server to a windows 2012 server. Since this happened users that are trying to print a reporting services report is getting the error "Unable to load client print control". We are using reporting services 2012, but the application is using the 8 version of the viewer. The reporting services server did not change only the application server. The code for the application did not change.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAs most are aware by now, the Report Viewer controls for reporting services in 12.0 and prior rely on ActiveX to work. This causes compatibility issues for any non-IE browser, and as of IE11 and now Windows 10 Edge browser it's causing issues for even IE. Research suggests that SSRS 2014 switched out to Silverlight:
[URL]
However, Silverlight uses NPAPI which is another technology for which all browsers are ending support. As of this writing, Chrome has already ended support. Similarly/Coincidentally Java support is ending as well.
My question is, what are Microsoft's plan to restore functionality such as print/search for browsers where ActiveX/Silverlight cannot be used since this support is no longer strictly a 3rd party browser situation?
We have a winforms application with local rdlc reports. On Surface Windows 8 Pro devices only, reports render such that they are scaled down and don't fill the page. If resolution is lowered on the device, the report scales up to fill the page.
This affects the appearance in print layout and well as the actual printed size.
If we export to pdf, it renders to fill the page (as expected). If you print to pdf or to printer, the scale is shrunken.
If we change the resolution settings so that "Make text and other items larger or smaller" is set to small, the issue is resolved except the tablet is not very usable on this setting.Is this a bug?
It seems the features are disabled when using any of the above because of compatibility issues with scripting/ActiveX not being properly supported by the FireFox and Chrome.
I believe the control determines the browser you are using is not IE and will not render the controls to prevent unexpected behavior because if the lack of ActiveX support. This can be seen when you compare the HTML of a page using IE8 and that of either IE11, FF, Chrome you'll see that the HTML for a zoom drop down control will show up in the IE8 browser and not in the others.
As for IE11 it presents itself as a Mozilla browser. eg: "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko" so when the control see's this it wont generate any of the controls believing the browser can't support it, even though IE11 should certainly be capable of doing so. I wanted to know if this is correct and if this is a bug?

Now the RS folks might be thinking but how does this help me as I need a dataset and a dataset can only be based on a Stored Procedure or a direct table. No problem create the following stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspCommonDates] AS

set datefirst 1
declare @date datetime
set @date = getdate()
select * from dbo.udfCommonDates(@date)
end
Now you've got a stored procedure to use as a dataset...Now in reporting services add a new dataset:
Now go to the report parameters section of the report:
Now pick that dataset dsFunctions (or whatever you called it) and then pick any of the value fields from the scalar functions such as:
Now when you run the report it uses the scalars:
If you have questions feel free to ask :).
Hope this helps someone

I have a report with datetime parameter which is required to be optional (there should be an option not to select this parameter which would cause in not narrowing result of this report by this parameter).
I used datetime parameter
@daTo (to have the calendar control for selecting date) and check on "Allow Null" value. Here is default Value.
I've also tried to set DefaultValue expression was "=Nothing".
IN my query of data set, here is the part I use the parameter @daTo
... Where (@daTo IS NULL OR TRUNC(@daTo) >= TRUNC(pe.start_time) ....
But when I run the report, I got below error:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER
I think it @daTo value actually not null so it try to TRunc the value
I don't know how to set null value default in my report.
