I created a web page on visual studio that handle sales orders using web services. I want to add a button that print the sales order from this page.
Who have an idea about printing reports via web services.
Thanks

    You cannot print it directly, you can only save it e.g. into PDF, download it and print from your application.

    You can print via webservice! But only with a workaround, have a look at this:

    I wrote this codeunit: 
    printpdf()

filename := 'C:\PdfDocuments\order.pdf';
ReportNbre := 70000;
REPORT.SAVEASPDF(ReportNbre,filename);
    then what shall I do to print it from WS??

    Read the posts in the link i provided. U need a PDF application to print the PDF. I use Foxit Reader because its very fast (a lot faster then adobe acrobat).

    Yes thats all. The function must run foxit reader with the correct parameters (filepath to the pdf file you created with SAVEASPDF, and the desired printer)

    Hi,
    I have called Reports using Web Services in C#. But I am not getting how to call Request Form Filters using Web Services.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks,
