I am developing VB.Net Web application to be used in our department
intranet. I created a web-based report using Crystal Reports. I would
like to print the report from the web server instead of printing from
the browser because the latest will add additional text to the pages and
it also requires printing each page separately. In order to do this I
followed the steps described in article "Printing Web-Based Reports from
the Server", which suggested to change the <ProcessModel> tag in
machine.config file (userName="SYSTEM" instead of userName="machine")
and also completed the steps described in related articles Q152451 and
Q184291: I added a local printer on server's LPT1 port and then attached
the network printer to lpt1 using "net use lpt1: \\server\printer"
command. Then I made this printer default printer and printed test page
ok. Also I copied registry settings from HKEY_CURRENT_USER to
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT as described in articles above.
During the report page Page_Load event the following code is executed:
Dim MyRpt As New Crystal1
Dim MyPrinter As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument
Dim strPrinterName As String
...
strPrinterName = MyPrinter.PrinterSettings.PrinterName()
'Checked the variable above in debug mode: contains correct printer name
MyRpt.PrintOptions.PrinterName = strPrinterName
MyRpt.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
When executing the last command got the error message with heading:
"Printers Folder" and text: "There was an error found when printing the
document "..." to LPT1:. Do you want to retry or cancel the job" with
Retry and Cancel buttons.
Before clicking on any of those buttons I opened the virtual Printers
directory of the web server and found the document in the Document List
queue with the status of "Error - Printing". After clicking on Cancel
the document disappears from the Document List.
Can somebody help?
