Reports prints 1 page only

I am getting an error "An error occured during printing (0x80004005)" - when i am trying to print - and the i still am able to print - but only 1 page.

Thre registry key - Reporting services was not there - so i created it at

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Reporting Services]
"LogRSClientPrintInfo"=dword:00000001

Please help - what should i do now ?

What is the version of your Reporting Services? If you browse to http://<server>/ReportServer you will see the version number in the bottom right hand corner of the page. There is a KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907010) regarding a similar seeming problem for Reporting Services 2000 SP2.

All reports, or just a specific one. When you say that it exports fine, have you tried exporting to PDF or TIFF? They are also 'page based' formats and may exibit the same failure. Have you looked in the IIS and SSRS log files? SSRS log files live at:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.<#>\Reporting Services\LogFiles"

and your IIS log files are in:

"C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC1"

Do you see any errors that are occuring when you attempt to print? Have you looked in the server event logs? Are there any errors there?

Try getting the server to render the emf directly by browsing to the report on http:///ReportServer and appending

Code Snippet

&rs:Format=IMAGE&rc:OutputFormat=emfplus

to the url that displays the report. For example:

Code Snippet

http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fMetaDataExperiments%2fFirstReport&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=IMAGE&rc:OutputFormat=emfplus

and save the file locally. Do you get an error when the file downloads?

Thanks,

Hello,

Were you able to try the direct download of the EMF file? This is the file that is sent to the local print plugin. This trial should allow us to determine if the issue is a client or server problem.

reports print differently on different printers

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Dependingon the printer, the report prints differently. Sometimes it's all messed up on certain printers on others it prints fine. I see the problem mostly with older HP printers..

Any ideas?

Hi There, What specifically is messed up? Is the issue you get what appears to be partial wrap around then gaps? So then end of a row wraps to the next line on the paper?

Does it only happen on larger/wider reports? So a simple narrow report thats much smaller than the page size works more consistently?

Assuming yes to all or most of the above, printers and printer dirvers define the printable region on the paper and there can be slight differences when going from 1 printer to another printer (or even 1 printer driver to another). Things are much more consistent these days though there are still some differences. Older printers, drivers, and operating systems exhibited a lot more differeneces.

Short of updating printers or printer drivers, you may try and change your report to make it just slightly smaller, and therefore it might fit on an older printer with perhaps a slightly smaller available printable region.

Hope that helps

here is an example

Report group header:

Invoice

Number

above is normal on a users printer it comes out as

Invoice

Number

It cuases all kinds of report problems when printing.
