ReportSDKPrinterException: Printer name could not ...

Former Member · ‎05-23-2014

I am working on testing a web application with BOE XI V 3.1. I have the database and RAS machines setup. I have been working on changing my app to printing through the RAS. I have print preview and export working, but am running into issues printing to a printer.

On the RAS which is on a virtual machine, I have a printer setup as a local printer to a tcpip port so the VM can access a printer on our network. But when I call the clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions); I get the error message ReportSDKPrinterException: Printer name could not be set.

I have also on the side been testing using a small jsp modified from a working print preview.

Here is the jsp:

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" %>

<%@

page import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.*,

com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data.*,

com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.document.*,

com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.*,

com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.*"

%>

<html>

<head>

<title>Print Report</title>

</head>

<body>

<%@ include file="AlwaysRequiredSteps_UnmanagedRAS.jsp"%>

<%

// Populate parameters

clientDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController().setCurrentValue("", "TAB_ID", "Configuration");

clientDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController().setCurrentValue("", "LOGO_LOCATION", "d:\\reports\\images\\highjump.gif");

PrintReportOptions printOptions = new PrintReportOptions();

printOptions.setPrinterName("Dell");

clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions);

clientDoc.close();

%>

</body>

</html>

The code from AlwaysRequiredSteps_UnmanagedRAS.jsp is:

<%

// This file contains the required steps to open an unmanaged report from a file path accessible to the RAS Server.

// Modify this path to the location of the report on your system.

String path = "rassdk://C:\\reports\\ReportList.rpt";

// Create a new Report Application Session.

ReportAppSession ra = new ReportAppSession();

// Create a RAS service.

ra.createService("com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument");

// Set the RAS server to be used for the service.

ra.setReportAppServer("10.192.183.196:1566");

// Initialize RAS.

ra.initialize();

// Create the ReportClientDocument object.

ReportClientDocument clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();

// Set the RAS server to be used.

clientDoc.setReportAppServer(ra.getReportAppServer());

// Open the report, and set the open type to Read Only.

clientDoc.open(path, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);

%>

The result I get from running this is:
