custom print dialog

hello
>> i want to show a custom dialog that shows specific printers and let the user pick one and then I want to print to the selected printer. (i don't want to show all the printers installed in the system) -- how can i do this is RS? -
>> there does not seem to be an object model for RS -- while i can build one by reading the rdl xml file - i also want the object model to provide features that will let me control the paper orientation, printer that i print to, the specific tray in the printer (upper/lower etc) -- can this be accomplished in RS? -
>> will the the reporting server controls in VS2005 provide the above mentioned features (specifying page orientation, choosing printers etc)?
thanks
ranga raghuramI haven't seen it so I don't know. What I do know is that this is intended
for the client to use. It will be a button on the Report Manager toolbar.
So, if you are using web services it will definitely not be available.
Whether URL integration gives a way to use it is another matter. Possible
but my guess is that there won't be this functionality but it is just a
guess.
