A report can contain sensitive data that requires that it be printed to only a secure printer.

Preventing Users from Changing the Destination Printer

If a report contains sensitive data, you can prevent users who run the report from changing the destination printer.

To prevent users from changing the printer

  • Set the Interactive property for the report to No.

    –or–

  • Override the ReportRun.prompt method on the report and set the value of the _enableDevice parameter to false.

Example

public boolean prompt(boolean _enableCopy = true,
                      boolean _enablePages = true,
                      boolean _enableDevice = true,
                      boolean _enableProperties = true,
                      boolean _enablePrintTo = true)
{
    boolean ret;
    ;
    ret = super(_enableCopy,
                _enablePages,
                false,   // _enableDevice
                _enableProperties,
                _enablePrintTo);
    return ret;
}
