Hi,

Is it possible to print the report automatically as it loads?

there is a sample to add a delivery extension to print a report.
but this works for scheduled reports.

SP2 allow the end user to directly print the report without having to export
it in PDF format.

I know there is a new option to directly print the report.
My question is: can I invoke the print action directly when the report loads
- without the need to press the print button?

sorry, but I don't see any rs command to render to the printer directly.
The current print preview & print functionality is an ActiveX control.
I presume that this ActiveX simply call reportserver to generates a TIFF
image (or PDF or any other format) and send it the printer.
Its a client side event and action, not a server side generation.

This could probably be made to work if the report web page was hosted by
another controlling app. E.g. if it is a frame in a larger web page than
the controlling page could trigger the print. Or if it's a vb app with a
web browser control, then the exe can control what occurs on the web page.
