Before you can set print options
for the default printer, the printer must be installed and configured properly.
Note:
This task is optional (not required to design
or schedule a publication) but can improve publication performance.
The Crystal Reports Job Server must run on an
account that has sufficient privileges to access the printer you specify. For
more information, see the
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence
Platform Administrator Guide.
You can print instances in Crystal reports format
each time a publication runs, using the Crystal Reports Job Server's default
printer or a different printer. The BI platform prints instances after the
publication is personalized but before delivery.
