SSRS Label Orientation printing incorrectly

Thank you Mr. Todd. 


At least I know I'm not totally crazy.

Has anyone seen the issue where I have a material tag label created in SSRS.


I started with a blank form and set the report size to 2" x 4" to match the label.


When I try to print the label it looks like it is being formatted for an 8 1/2" x 11" paper because the entire label is shrunk down to a very small size.


If I preview the label in Adobe it appears correctly.


Anyone encountered this before?


Thanks,

Dave Olender

Did you set the paper size in the report?

If not, right-click on the blue background outside the report form and select Report Properties.

If you did, beats me. :-)

Except...I've seen something like this, come to think of it. We are hosted, using Remote Desktop. To print correctly to the label printer it must be the default. I have one station where they have to switch the default printers back and forth, and log out of Remote Desktop and back in.

Mr. Joe: Thanks for the reply.


I have seen and done the same thing with RDP where the users had to set the default printer to the label printer.


We were using the Screwdriver utility and that may have been a factor. 


In this situation though - I am not using a terminal server.


I will keep playing - again thanks for the suggestion.

There is a known issue (feature?) with SSRS and labels where it tries to print in a preferred orientation where labels are not square.  I will look around for details in another message board.  I was having this similar issue with scaling and orientation so was doing some online research at the time.  Ended up giving up on SSRS and using Crystal Reports to get what I needed.
