Printing Report - Server Side

Question

User1447854015 posted

Hi everyone,

I have developed a web app that creates and prints .rdlc reports automatically. I have been trying to print these reports with no success. If I host the app locally on the server the printing works fine, but when I host the app the printing fails and I get a Visual Studio Just-In time debugger saying "An unhandled win32 exception occured in w3wp.exe[xxxx]" (the number changes).

I have tried impersonation, checked the printer security setting and a couple other things. The printer I am printing to is a network printer.

Any ideas would be fantastic I have been working on this for just over a day now. Thanks.

Hi!

This error may occurs when a 32 bit application runs in a 64 bit server, so please make sure that the application is 64 bit.

Regards.

The application itself is infact 64 bit. I have it printing now I changed the IIS application pool identity to NetworkService and it works partly.  I am however printing to an application called "PrintBoss" which is a 32-bit application. Could this be the cause of the issue?

Yes, that is quiet possible ... 32 bit application "PrintBoss" might be causing this issue ...
