crystal report with jsp print to client side

[Ardi Lie]

Hi,
I am now using crystal report for eclipse to create report for my web application. I can show the report know, but when i press the print button on the report print button, the action is always print our report to server default printer. Can i setting this so when the printer button i press or click the action is not print on server printer but print on client printer?

And then, what must i do if i want to show the print dialog when i press the print button?

Perhaps it might help to let us know how you are accomplishing the printing?

JRCHelperSample.printToServer(clientDoc, rp.getPrinterName());

Java printer code will run on the server. To print on the client you'll need to employ JavaScript.

Can you give me an example how to print crystal report with java script?

If i using script :
<script>
window.print();
</script>

i can print it from client, but the result of printing is just the web site page, not the crystal report view.

I just want to print the crystal report view on the printing not all the page.

How must i do?
