I have a look at this code, it allows you to print to a nominated printer by name. However what I want to do is invoke the JasperViewer dialog and pass the default printer to that, but I don't know how to do that.

 

public static void run(String ReportName,Map parameters)

{

try

{

JasperReport jasperReport = (JasperReport) JRLoader.loadObjectFromLocation(ReportName+".jasper");

Connection conn = Common.selectedHost.db.conn;

JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters, conn);

 

JRPrintServiceExporter exporter = new JRPrintServiceExporter();

exporter.setParameter( JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT, jasperPrint);

PrintServiceAttributeSet serviceAttributeSet = new HashPrintServiceAttributeSet();

serviceAttributeSet.add(new PrinterName(JPrint.getPrinterShortName("My printer queue name",null));

exporter.setParameter( JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_SERVICE_ATTRIBUTE_SET, serviceAttributeSet);

exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PAGE_DIALOG, Boolean.FALSE);

exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PRINT_DIALOG, Boolean.TRUE);

exporter.exportReport();

 

//JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint,false);

 

}

catch (Exception e)

{

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,e.getMessage(),"Error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

}

}
