__action=print

I obtain an error : no printer

i suppose that i have to put an other url parameter called "PRINTER", could you please help me to know how exactely i have to put in __PRINTER parameter

Answer 1

You need a ampersand & before the double underline that starts the next parameter.

Your link would be http://127.0.0.1:8080/birt/frameset?__report=myreport.rptdesign&__format=PDF&__action=print

I have never tried to print via a link, but I have used multiple parameters in a link, you may also have other issues, but this is the first one.
