In order to print a report, you must first render or transform it into a printable format or use the Print Preview. HTML is not generally a recommended format for printing. You may also automate printing using code.

To print a report using Print Preview

1. On the Preview tab of a report or in the Report Viewer application, ensure that the Print Preview icon is depressed.
   
2. Click the Print button.
   
3. Select your printer, print range, and number of copies.
4. Click the OK button.

To print a report in other printable formats

1. On the Preview tab of a report or in the Report Viewer application, click the Export icon and choose a format (other than HTML).
2. Enter the directory to which you want to save the file and set other properties as desired.
3. Click Export.
4. Open the exported report in an application appropriate to the format.
5. From the File menu of the application in which the exported report opens, select Print.
