print via CrystalReportViewer without printerselection-Window?

[spjansen]

Hi,
I have to print Crystal Report 8.5 Forms and I am doing this with the CrystalReportViewer in vb.net.

CrystalReportViewer.PrintReport()

The problem is, that I have to print a lot of reports and I dont want the printer selection window to pop up each time.
I am not talking about 10 times the same report, bur ten different reports.
How can I suppress the window?

Look into the .PrintPages method. You can set the printer and tray first then use print pages to send the report to the printer. (Hint, use 999999 for number of pages)

Thanks for the reply, but there is no .PrintPages Method in my CrystalReportViewer component. I am not really a vb.net programmer and dont know the terminology. What I have done is, that I took the CrystalReportViewer-thing (customcontrol ?) from the left-side menu and put it on my form and this thing doesnt know the method .Printpages
What should I have done different?

Hmm, I'm not at work so I can't pull up the code, but check the Crystal Reports Document object, it might be in there.

it's working!
I never took a look at the methods of the ReportDocument, only at the CrystalReportViewer!
