Title: Printing in HTML
Post by: cognos_guru on 11 May 2010 10:04:38 AM
Does anyone has problems with printing a report in HTML?  I am getting something that looks like a printscreen output - complete with scroll bar and cut off report.

Any ideas?  I don't want to print in PDF.

Hi
Have you tried editing the printing preferences?

It's a known problem. It does not send the report to the printer but sends the screen.

To resolve this, I added a print icon to the Cognos Viewer which launches the default printer and sends the output to the printer. The file you have to edit is viewer_toolbar.xml located in <c8>/templates/ps/portal. The javascript function is window.print()

Thanks!  I don't have admin privileges in this environment, but I'll pass it along...
