1197586 - Unable to change printer trays using Report Application Server SDK

In Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Service Pack 2 using the Report Application Server (RAS) SDK, it is not possible to change to a different printer tray at runtime.

The issue has been identified and tracked under ID ADAPT00798711.

This issue is addressed in Service Pack 3 for Crystal Reports XI Release 2.

New properties have been added to both Get and Set the printer bin either by name or number. To get the printer bin names and numbers, use the new GetAvailableBinNames and GetAvailableBins in code such as the following:

Dim myBinNames As String

For Each myBinNames In reportClientDoc.PrintOutputController.GetAvailableBinNames(myPrintOptions.PrinterName)
BinNameDL.Items.Add(myBinNames) 
Next 

Dim myBinNumbers As Integer

For Each myBinNumbers In reportClientDoc.PrintOutputController.GetAvailableBins(myPrintOptions.PrinterName)
BinDL.Items.Add(myBinNumbers)

Next

To set the bin, use either the BinName or Bin property of PrintReportOptions, as follows:

Dim myPROptions As New PrintReportOptions

myPROptions.Bin = BinDL.SelectedItem.Value
myPROptions.BinName = BinNameDL.SelectedItem.ToString
reportClientDoc.PrintOutputController.PrintReport(myPROptions)
