SQL Server Forum / Services / Reporting Services / April 2005SP2: Client Printing
Was very excited after installing SP2 to see the printer icon. It was too much for the Managers in my company to export to PDF then print. Too much work they said. But once I clicked on the icon, my heart raced with excitement. Now I can stop listening to them about how much work is involved in printing. Then I clicked on print preview... ...my heart sunk. All that hard work in designing the report to print lanscape on legal with specific margins is useless. All that has to be reset in the print dialog. Is there a way that the print dialog can grab the necessary info to properly format before printing? Otherwise, I am back to exporting to PDF before printing. The managers will never go for formatting their reports before printing. I can print landscape. Have you set your RDL properties correctly for printing landscape? <PageHeight>8.5in</PageHeight> <PageWidth>11in</PageWidth> or <PageHeight>8.5in</PageHeight> <PageWidth>14in</PageWidth> -------------------- | Thread-Topic: Client Printing | thread-index: AcVKc7LIqXRMjOMGRK2TTT9dg9/ycQ== [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] | printing.

There's no way to set it from RS is there? > I can print landscape. Have you set your RDL properties correctly for > printing landscape? [quoted text clipped - 47 lines] > | printing.

If you have your page width set to 11 and page height to 8.5 then it knows it is landscape (at least in my test it did). Go to report properties, layout to set this.

OK, I think I understand the issue that people are having. SP2 has a new behavior that extracts the page size and margin information at publish time so that it can be used by the print control. Reports that were published before SP2 do not contain these properties so they will default to 8.5" x 11" (portrait) with .5" margins. You can either set these properties by republishing the report definition thruogh the UI or SetReportDefintion. You can also call the SetProperties API to set them as well. I am working on a script to post to my blog that you can use to fix this.
