The printer printed blank pages

Post by shyam.pundkar »

Hi,

Our client is printing a generated report. But they get blank page as an output of their print job.

if they export the report to pdf and print then it works fine (the report is printed correctly)

The component responsible for printing is

Stimulsoft.Report.Viewer.SL.dll
Description:
Stimulsoft Report Viewer (Silverlight)
Version: 2014.3.0.0

The function call we make to print the report loaded in stiReportViewer is as below:

stiReportViewer.InvokePrintReport();

Please help me in this regard and let me know if more information is required.

Thanks,
Shyam

Hi Aleksey,

I have the following question,
Could you please let me know what stiReportViewer.CacheMode does? Can use it to release any memory the control holds?
I could able to reproduce the issue:
It appears when the available memory reaches 0 and I keep on regenerating the reports then one or many of the pages becomes blank.
Our client can still print in such situation from Acrobat reader. So they say it's a fault in your application. We are very much eager to fix this issue.
Please help!

Thanks
Shyam

Hello, Shyam.

There are two print mode in Silverlight. PostScript and using images.
If used printer does not support PostScript each page is exported as image. Obviously, it use much memory.
The only solution in this case is to use PDF export.

Thank you.

Thanks HighAley for your reply! I think images printing more is used
We are experiencing a spike in memory consumption which does not come down even after the report is printed and this continue eating up memory for next report generations and end up with blank pages in the end.
Is there a way to release that memory forcefully after the printing is done? can stiReportViewer.CacheMode help in this?

Hello.

We know about this issue.
Unfortunately, it's impossible to force disposing of the memory.

Thank you.
