Unanswered Question !!! Report Printing

2004-09-24 07:18

I am generating the jasper reports.It all works fine.

What I want is to print this report directly to printer.

 

From my machine it works fine as webapp is deployed on my machine,but when I try to print this report from another machine I am not able to do this.

 

My problem is how an application get the printer at client side to print report at their end.

 

I am using the following code.

 

JasperPrint jasperPrint = null;

try {

jasperPrint =

JasperFillManager.fillReport(

jasperFileName,

parameters,

new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(reportData));

} catch (JRException je) {

System.out.println(

"Error printing report:n" + je.getMessage());

return;

}

PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();

if (pj.printDialog())

{

PrintRequestAttributeSet printRequestAttributeSet =

new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();

 

//printRequestAttributeSet.add(OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);

 

//printRequestAttributeSet.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);

 

PrintServiceAttributeSet printServiceAttributeSet = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().getPrintService().getAttributes();

 

PrinterName printerName = new PrinterName("normal", Locale.getDefault());

printServiceAttributeSet.add(printerName);

 

 

 

JRPrintServiceExporter exporterjasper = new JRPrintServiceExporter();

exporterjasper.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_SERVICE_ATTRIBUTE_SET, printServiceAttributeSet);

exporterjasper.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT,jasperPrint);

 

exporterjasper.setParameter(

JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE_SET,

printRequestAttributeSet);

exporterjasper.setParameter(

JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_SERVICE_ATTRIBUTE_SET,

printServiceAttributeSet);

exporterjasper.setParameter(

JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PAGE_DIALOG,

Boolean.FALSE);

exporterjasper.setParameter(

JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PRINT_DIALOG,

Boolean.TRUE);

 

 

try {

exporterjasper.exportReport();

} catch (JRException je) {

System.out.println(

"Error printing report:n" + je.getMessage());

}

}

 

 

I will really appriciate if some body helps me out.

Thanks.
