How can I force a specific printer for a user

Lets say your in the Demo Company. and you want specific reports for the ADMIN user to go to "Printer 2"


1) Create a new Folder under the Ostendo\Reports\Demo folder called ADMIN

2) Move a copy of the fr3 file into the Ostendo\Reports\Demo\Admin folder

3) Open up the Report & View Developer and select the report. (Ensure you open the fr3 file from the "Admin" folder in this case)

4) Change the Default printer for that report to "Printer 2" by selecting  Report->Options. Save this new setting and report fr3 file.

 

Now if you sign on as that user, the fr3 file in that users folder will be used, therefore the corresponding printer will be offered.
