Report Print Tool

The report print tool is used to output to a printer, or to file via the printer drivers. A blank printer name will output to the default printer. If printing to file, no automated cleanup of the files will take place. Either automated or manual cleanup routines will have to be executed to remove any files after they have been used.

When CIC runs as a service, care must be taken to ensure that the printers being used are accessible by the service. Services either have to be given specific user privileges, or devices need to have printing rights granted to everyone to ensure that printing is possible. Also, the full path to the printer as seen on the Printer Properties/Security/Permissions will likely have to be used unless the printer is local.

The Printer Permissions dialog box shows specific user privileges.
