Assign a Crystal report to a Named Printer

[cybersee]

Several versions ago I read an article on assigning a Crystal report to a named printer. This would allow the Crystal report to print in place of the GP report writer default report.

Does anyone know about this or has done this?

Thanks.

I'm not aware that this is a function, however

http://www.rocktonsoftware.com

has crystal report integration.

(their website is down right now... but check back later)

and they wonder why they call it Great Pains!

I have not tried other products, but I know this is possible in Crystallizer for most GP reports:

The Great Plains Named Printer functionality cannot control external applications, so it will not work with Crystal.

worked for me.

Thanks for your responses. I spoke with Rockton today and they seem to be a viable solution.

I wanted to add that Rockton's Crystal Integration works with any network printer.
