EAPrintReportToPrinter

This document was generated using Claude.ai

Overview

Prints predefined reports directly to a specified printer using Jasper Reports. Unlike form printing, this action generates standalone reports using report definitions with default question field values and sends output directly to the printer.

When This Action Runs

Manual execution for printing predefined reports directly to physical printers without user preview or PDF generation.

How It Works

1. Locates report definition - Finds ReportDefinition by the specified report code
2. Prepares question fields - Fills question fields with default values and processes hidden questions
3. Generates report - Runs Jasper report with prepared question field data
4. Prints to printer - Sends generated report directly to specified printer and cleans up temporary files

Parameters

Parameter 1: Printer Name (Required) - Name of the network or local printer to send output to

Parameter 2: Report Code (Required) - Business code of the ReportDefinition to print

Database Tables Affected

• ReportDefinition - Reads report configuration, metadata, and question field definitions
• Temporary Print Records - Creates and deletes temporary print job records

Important Warnings

⚠️ Report Requirements

• Report code must exist and be a valid ReportDefinition business code
• Report must be properly configured with question fields and metadata
• Reports print with default question field values only

⚠️ Printer Requirements

• Printer name must exactly match configured network/local printer name
• Printer must be accessible from the server running the application
• Print jobs sent directly without user preview or cancellation option

⚠️ Processing Limitations

• No user input for question fields - uses defaults only
• No entity-specific data integration (unlike form printing)
• Temporary files are automatically cleaned up after printing
