Print report to different printers

omard

Hi All

I need ideas on how to print the same report to two different printers. Basically I have a button, that when clicked I need to send the same report to multiple printers.

I would not like to create two objects numbers to use the Navision printer selections table, so if anyone has a better idea I would appreciate.

THANKS!

You can put some code behind the button, that before calling the report, creates/modifies a record in table 78:"Printer Selection".
This defines which printer to use by the report.

Hi

i need detailed info regarding this one, i understand that we can define user wise report ids in one table

how it linked to the runtime when actually a report runs,how it selects dynamically?

for one user if i want to print the same report in diff printers at a time
is it possible?

Thanks,
Ramesh

The automatic selecting the printer has handled by function "FindPrinter" in codeunit 1.



You need to run the report multiple times : once for each printer.

To give you an idea, here is a snippet of code to use : http://www.mibuso.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... highlight=

Ps.
Thinking about this. Maybe it's better to create a function in cu1 called setprinter(printername) and use the global var in function FindPrinter.
