Axiant, NT, Printing

[Fares Esber]

 Another way to control the Axiant printing is to direct the output to a
printfile then send the output to a printer, for ex. LPT1 from within a BAT
file. After that, you can set LPT1 to capture any local or network printer
and therefore each PC may use a different printer according to its port
setting (in: setting, printers, properties). Using this method will also
allow you to use escape sequences which they don't work directly from
Axiant.

Hi

I don't believe Axiant has it's own list, so here goes....

For printing to specific printers within NT, see Knowledge Base document
KB65157CS on the Cognos Supported Customers Website (it's actually a
Powerhouse doc, so you may have missed it).

Essentially you need to do :

SET REPORT DEVICE PRINTER "\\<server_name>\<printer_name>"

This should work for Axiant as well.

With regards to embedding escape sequences, I seem to remember that you
may
need to print to a file first and then print that in order to get them
to
work correctly (could be wrong though). 

Hope it helps

Does Axiant have a separate list or is it included in this one?
Based on the little we know so far, when we print a report using SET
DEVICE
PRINTER, the report prints to whatever default printer is set up on the
PC
executing the report.  To use different printers on the network, should
we
first make a printfile then use a screen to select a printer from a list
of
those available?
How about switching from portrait to landscape?  Should we use escape
sequences?
