Printing

Prints reports and content to a named printer accessible from the computer hosting the solution engine. The content to print can be specified in one of two ways.

1. Specify the file as a printFile resource or component setting.
2. Have a previous action in the sequence output content to the parameter report-output.

Currently, the org.pentaho.plugin.jfreereport.JFreeComponent, org.pentaho.plugin.eclipsebirt.BIRTComponent, and org.pentaho.plugin.jasperreports.JasperComponent have the ability to generate report content as report-output. If no content to print is specified, the action sequence will fail.

printFile - string If not specified, the report-output parameter is used.
printerName - string If not specified, the default printer is used

Outputs:

last-printer-selected - string If not specified in the action-outputs and action-inputs, value is not set.
