Hello,

I have a requirement that involves a report to be printed directly from a web page, without it being rendered. Basically I use report viewer to visualize reports on web pages and from there it can be printed, but they need that the report is directly printed without being visualized first and then selected to print.
I would like to know if it is possible and if so, how can it be made.

Thanks a lot for your collaboration.

One of the reasons for the RS ActiveX container is to render the report to get a nice format. The old ways of printing HTML was not so nice, that is one of the major reasons that RS has the container to render the report. Through RS there is no simple way to do this. Your only option is to handle this through code. You will need to in your code set a default driver (if you want to print it to pdf just set the printer driver or default printer to your pdf distiller). Else this is going to be some code that you will handle in your client application or web application and not directly in rs.

Good luck!
