I have implemented a printer delivery extension based on MS example in SSRS 2005.
Everything works fine, however, I run into a problem when the dataset is empty. I get a single blank page. If there is no data I would rather not send the job to the printer.
Anyone have any experience with this or ideas how to solve my problem?
maybe run the sql to get a row count, and only print if its not zero?
I solved this by using a technique suggested by someone else. Unfortunately, I can't find that post now to give them proper credit.
My solution is to set up a data driven subscription passing the only parameter I have(printer name). The query used in the subscription joins against a key table in the report so that if there is no data there is no printer to print to thus nothing happens.
