Hi All
I wanted to know how to print a report in webdev to a local printer. In other words how can a web user print a report to a printer connected to his local machine? The filedisplay command seems to allow user to view or download the report but how can I get the printer dialog box to show up as soon as the report is displayed in the user's browser so he can print to a printer connected locally on his machine?
Thanks and regards
Gautam

Hi Gautam
As this function is browser specific, you'll need to use some JS code
if you really want to do that and it may not work in all browsers...
But most of the time, giving the report as a pdf and letting them either
look at it, save it, or print it is the easiest solution (and also
offers the user the chance to save it as a pdf for archival)
Best regards

Thanks Fabrice
Sorry for the late response as I was away on holiday.
I am generating the report as a pdf currently and allowing the user to save it or display it. Is it possible to open the pdf in a new browser window? The problem with display is if the user closes the display window it closes the entire web application. So the user would have to click on the back button of the browser to get back to the web application after viewing the report.

Hi Gautam
yes it is.. Just change the button target in the button settings (at the
bottom of the first tab)
Best regards
