REP-0713: Invalid printer name specified by parameter DESNAME.

I could not print directly to a HP LaserJet 2200 printer a report, using the Oracle Application Server 6i. I call the report from a form via the run_product command.

add_parameter(plid,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'Printer');
add_parameter(plid,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'No');
add_parameter(plid,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,'myprinter');

run_product(REPORTS,'myreport',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,plid);

I´ve tried using the driver name in the DESNAME parameter, instead of the printer name, but the error continues: "REP-0713: Invalid printer name specified by parameter DESNAME".

Any help?

Hi:

I wrote a valid printer name!!. 'mypriter' exists in both the PC i´m trying to run the report and the Oracle Web Server, but it doesn´t work at all!!

Okay

Found this in the newsgroups, though not sure if you're using a HP:

try this:

snip... desname='HP' ....

So, could is that they way that you're doing it?

Also, try to install it as a non-service, and physically
connect a printer.
