Printing

I didn't exactly know where to post so I thought I would put it here and Mods if I am wrong please move to the correct place.

Ok so I created a report and that's fine. I also launched the viewer on TomCat, all working fine.

But how do I allow my end users viewing the report to print to a connected printer? I have seen this feature in apps like pentaho and I need it but birt doesn't have it. I don't like pentaho so I would like to stick with birt but this is a need.

Thanks in advance everyone.

Any ideas how to allow printing to a local printer for the user?

Do I need to add something to tomcat for this?

Any ideas at all? I can't believe that BIRT viewer won't print, what would be the point of it if it doesn't print.

Guys, what version of BIRT are you using? The BIRT viewer has printer icons directly at the top (see screenshot) that allows for local printing and server side printing.

Im moving this thread to the Deploying BIRT forum.
