RS Printing Questions

1. When creating a report,In the preview tab i have the ability to print out
the report (using the print button) however once the report is deployed to
the report server the user doesnt get the print button and can only print
from the browser.Is there any way to print from the report (as opposed to the
browser) after the report has been deployed?
2.When printing from the browser,only the first page prints out,even though
'All' pages has been selected in the print dialog.This only occurs when
printing out a report,If i print out another web page all the pages print
out.Does anyone know of a fix for this?Vinny,
This is annoying. I found one way around this - the report prints
beautifully (if you set it up correctly) from PDF. You can provide a
'Printable Report' link to the user to the PDF version - that will work. To
do that you append ''&rs%3AFormat=PDF" to the end of the regular report URL.
This works pretty well - obviously it would be ideal if Reporting Services
didnt have this problem, but here's one work around. Hope this helps.

Report Manager or URL integration, not sure what happens with web services).
SP2 will hopefully be out this month. Soon, anyway.
