firefox doesnt print report

Mon, 07 Jan 2013 09:03:20 GMT

Hi everyone,

I want to print a report in firefox. It is a quiet big report and it takes a while to create the report meaning that the report has more than 1000 pages. When the loading takes longer than 1 min firefox or Ajax doesnt print the report.

Does anyone know why? and if I can solfe this problem?

regards,

Are you getting the message suggesting that you click on a link if the print window does not pop up.

If you use a button to kick of the print report process (Actions > Pring report > Report ID), ticking the 'Show Print Dialog' checkbox may cause the necessary delay for the report to be generated.

Finally, I don't know whether it is Firefox or my QlikView report, but I get reports sent to pdf from where I can print in my pdf reader. This could also be a way of generating the full report.

Does the link they provide open up a new window with the report ? Does that link appear ?

Is Firefox showing an Allow or Disallow popup bar at the top of the screen ? Try under Firefox's menu (top left drop down arrow) Options > Options > Content tab > Block popup windows > Exceptions
