Problem with printing

Hello everybody,

i have used report viewer control in my win app, (c#, .net 2.0) and from msql i get data, fill necessary tableadapters and print report. Everything works fine on my computer, i generate report from template, push Print button in report viewer, Print dialog appears and i print the report by clicking OK.

The problem occurs in another computer, where i launch my app, i generate report, push Print button, and when appears print dialog happen strange things:

1. In print dialog i push "Print" button once, and nothing happens, Print dialog is still on top, then i push second time Print and then i can see that to pages is sended to printer (but my report is only one page). Printer does nothing, in printer schedulles there is no jobs.

2. So i press Print button in report viewer second time, Print dialog appears again, i click Print button nothing happens, then i push second time Print button i can see that 1 page is sended to printer, Print dialog disapear and now printer print my report correctly.

and this mesh is everytime i generate report and want to print it. Printer is installed correctly, i tried newest drivers for it. For example with ms office word everything works fine.

Could it be report viewer bug? what are the ways to find out what is wrong?

I have had the same problems in reporting services. Sometimes it doesn't print, sometimes it does. Sometimes it prints just the one page. Sometimes it prints multiple. I have tried just messing with the margins in the Report Properties menu button. I have found that SSRS doesn't print the report evenly on the page, too, so having compensated by setting the left margin .5 inches less then the right margin it now doesn't print more then one page as often. I don't know if that exact tweek will work for you, but maybe that will give you an idea what to look for. I would assume that most of these things are bugs, but they are not too hard to work around. Good luck!|||

What version of SSRS are you running? Go to http://<server>/ReportServer and note the number in the bottom right. 9.00.1399.00 is RTM (release to manufacturer) and it has known issues printing. There was a hotfix released for what might be your problem, but you should get the latest service pack (SP2) as it rolls up all of the fixes and has been through more testing.

Good luck,

Larry

Here is a list of build numbers for the various versions of SQL Server 2005 and it indicates that you have a single patch installed (KB 932557) but that is all: 932557) but that is all: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/sjones/2960.asp

You may well find that applying SP2 will fix your issue.
