• Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010
• Visual Studio 2010

• Create a new win app in VS 2010 using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010
• Use the following code to print a report to a printer:

using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel;
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rd =
new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
//ReportDocument rd = new ReportDocument();
 ISCDReportClientDocument rcd;
  PrintOutputController poc;
  PrintReportOptions po = new PrintReportOptions();

 rd.Load(@"C:\CrystalReport1.rpt");
  rcd = rd.ReportClientDocument;
  poc = rcd.PrintOutputController;
  po.PrinterName = "Microsoft XPS Document Writer";
  po.PrinterDuplex =
CrPrinterDuplexEnum.crPrinterDuplexSimplex;
  po.NumberOfCopies = 1;

  poc.PrintReport(po);
  rd.Close();
  rd.Dispose();

 

• This is a limitation of the 64 bit builds and SDK for visual Studio .NET
• The PrintOutputController has a dependency on the PrintControll dll
• It is not possible to make this control 64 bit compatible due to limitations in IE 64, framework dependencies and other

• Work-around; use the PrintToPrinter API
