Printer support

You can specify printers that are referenced from within Crystal Enterprise as your report destination. Enter the name of your printer (and the path) when you specify the destination for your report. By selecting the Printer destination, Crystal Enterprise prints your report after it is processed.

Note:    If you select Printer as your destination, the report must be scheduled using the Crystal Reports format. For information on formats, see Choosing a format.

To assign a printer name

1. In the Objects management area of the CMC, select a report object by clicking its link.
2. Click the Destination tab.

   The Destination tab appears.

3. Select Printer from the Destination list.

   

4. Complete the Printer Name field (with the path/name of your printer), select the number of copies, and choose the print page range.

   If your Job Server is using Windows, in the Printer Name field, type:

   \\printserver\printername

   Where printserver is the name of your printer server, and printername is the name of your printer.

   If your Job Server is running on UNIX, in the Printer Name field, type the print command that you normally use. For instance, type:

   lp -d printername

   Note:    Ensure that the printer you are using (on UNIX) is "shown" and not "hidden."

5. Click Update.
