When printing out of dynamics 2018 to SSRS 2016 or 2017, I'm not sure which. When we try to print out of microsoft dynamics to an ssrs report it will bring up the print dialogue and then the printing window, but then nothing will print. If we do not close the report and click print a second time it will often print (though sometimes it takes three times).
Printing out of the SSRS web front end works properly and printing to notepad out of the computers runnign dynamics also prints fine. Printing out of dynamics to anything other that SSRS also works fine.

I have an 2016 SSRS report that hides and shows rows based on toggles. The report was recently updated to 2016 from 2005 and the toggles broke on the 2016 server. However, when using Visual Studio 2017 preview mode, the report works as expected. Thus making it hard to determine where the error is. Any ideas? The schema in the XML is set to 2016.
All of the reports I have on our SSRS server work great through the SSRS ReportViewer web control but I have 2 reports that will not render. I fill out the parameters and the page refreshes with nothing. No loading gif, no toolbar, just the parameter controls.
I have tried using the ReportViewer on Chrome, Firefox and IE. All reports but these two certain reports work great.
I've tried the methods listed in:
SSRS 2008 R2 - SSRS 2012 - ReportViewer: Reports are blank in Safari and Chrome
Only 2 reports out of >10 fail to render on SSRS 2008R2 SP2
Does anyone know why certain reports may not display while others will?
Update: I have found that if I pass in a test parameter, the report will render with 0 results. However if I pass in a valid value, I get nothing.
Turns out to have been a couple of things.
First was something to do with the query. One of the parameters accepted values with commas in it and when changing the values to not contain commas, the report worked fine. This might have been attributed to how the values were being passed to the parameters.
The DIV containing the report needed overflow: auto; added to it's styles.
I assume you are on SSRS 2008 r2. While I'm not familiar with using the web version of ReportViewer (I always preview my reports in Visual Studio), I have found that if my Data Source loses its connection string this can happen.
Do you have visual studio with SSRS? If so can you open your report there and preview it?
In a new ssrs 2008 report that uses sql server 2012, I am suppose to create a report that prints on both sides of the same paper. The first side of the report will display custom data with a mailing address for the customer.
The second side (back side of the paper) will contain generic information. The second side of the paper will contain areas for the users within my large company to fill out and return to the user via inter-office mail.
Thus my question is can this happen in an SSRS 2008 report to print in a PDF and/or Word document on both sides of the paper? If this is possible would you tell me if the paper needs to be exported to PDF, Word, or if this can on both format(s)? If so, would you tell me and/or point me to a reference that will tell me how to accomplish this goal?
If this is not possible in SSRS 2008, is printing on both sides of the paper possible in ssrs 2008 r2 or ssrs 2012? If so, would you tell me what version of ssrs report would work, and if the print (export) needs to be a PDF, Word, or either format? If so, would you tell me and/or point me to a reference that will tell me how to accomplish this goal?
If printing on both sides of a paper is not possible, would you tell me if you have any alternative suggestions I can use?
Printing on both sides of the paper is a function of the local printer settings on the computer doing the printing. This is not a setting in Reporting Services and cannot be controlled from there. You can design your report with printing in mind (i.e. set up page breaks at the appropriate points, set page margins and the layout of the report items) but the actual print settings are dependent on printer/print driver being used and the settings of the local computer.
I have a SSRS 2008 RDL report that I deploy on our report server. Things were all good until today, when all reports when printed directly from the report server appear squeezed and shrunk. The preview of the report in the report server is perfectly all right. But printing it to the printer and an xps file changes the appearance of the reports.
However if I export the report to Word or Adobe, doesnt seem to happen.
I am very sure that this report and all the other reports where printing correctly before, till we figured out this today.
I have noticed that this is not on a single pc, I tried running the same set of reports on two different PC's over the network, results are still the same, SHRUNK reports.
Unfortunately I cant upload a picture.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I have solved this issue. I tried quite a few things like margins and fonts, but didnt help.
So RESTARTING the SERVER on which these reports were hosted fixed them all. I dont know how and why but all my reports are printing as they shown in the preview.
Thanks
I am fairly new to using SSRS and I would like to create a report that automatically prints to a specified printer when the report is generated.
I found this question on SO and it mentions writing code in the Business Intelligence Development Studio that can "fire off" a print job. How might I do that?
EDIT:
Forgot the URL of the thread in question.
Automatically print SSRS report?
As TFD commented google will get you lots of responses.
From my experience there are 2 ways to "automatically" print a report.
If it will be on demand from your code then you will have to code the rendering and send that to the printer yourself. There are lots of ways/variations to do this, again google will give you more specifics.
You can also write a custom extension to do the printing. There are samples of this in the SSRS sample code as part of the SSRS server install. This would do the printing "server side".
