We need the capability to print reports directly to a printer from an XAF Web application. Is this possible using XAF reports (XtraReports). We would prefer that the user does not have to send the report to a PDF (or similar) document then print from the PDF document (a 2 step process).
Thanks for your help

We have closed this ticket because another page addresses its subject:
Documentation - Provide a help article on how to programmatically export a report to PDF, stream, print or attach it to email via a custom Action without showing the report preview
Hello John,
Our Reports module allows you to print the XafReport from the preview window. Please see the attached screenshot. Does this functionality meet your requirements?
Thanks,

Not exactly. For printing from the UI this will be OK; however, some times we need reports to print as part of a process (i.e. publishing checks, or posting invoices, shipping a truck, etc.). Is there a way to bypass the preview screen and print setup screens and go directly to the printer (this means we may have to pass print setup info into the report process)?
