I have this nice report that shows up in my web app. So far so good (although it has been an utter PITA getting here).
Anyway, I need to allow them to print it. In design mode I see the little print icon. At runtime there is no print icon.
As near as I can tell it seems that it's a difference between "local mode" and "remote mode" for the control; but I'm not 100% on that.
How in the world do I tell the control to show the print button? I do see a property of the report viewer titled "ShowPrintButton" and it is most definitely set to True.
Ideas?
In server mode printing is done via an active x plugin and as such printing is only available in IE and not Firefox or other browsers. The print button is controlled as you mentioned via the visibility of the print button but only in IE or globally in the ssrs configuration. The best option in my experience is to encourage users to export to PDF and print from there.
