All, We are running into an issue, where we see that the 'print' button as available on the Microsoft Reporting Server site does not work on our Windows 7/8.1 systems. When pressing the button, a popup appears with the message 'Printing is not available.

Verify that ActiveX is enabled, or try using Internet Explorer for the desktop.' I have added the site to trusted sites, and allowed download and run of signed ActiveX controls, as described here ( ). I have configured the ActiveX Installer service, as described here (After that action I see in the eventlog the following: The ActiveX control from host URL passed all policy checks.seems like the ActiveX object is marked as 'ok'. But even then the file is not installed. Looking at a Process Monitor dump, I see the cab-file (RSClientPrint-x86.cab) is downloaded, but never reaches 'Windows Downloaded Program Files'. I would like to avoid having to deploy the component using a package. Does anyone have an idea?

(googling around didn't provide me any answers that work for me ->which where the options mentioned above) Help is greatly appreciated! Regards, Sjoerd. Hi, For Microsoft Internet Explorer, settings that affect ActiveX control download and installation are specified through the ActiveX controls and plug-ins node in the Security Settings page for the Web content zone. Users who want to use RSClientPrint to perform client-side printing must enable Download signed ActiveX controls and Script ActiveX control marked safe for scripting for installation purposes, and Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins for ongoing print operations. Please make sure above 3 settings are configured properly. If there is any security applications or plug-in installed to protect your internet access, please disable them first before reinstall it.

Hi Kate, Using the local admin account, I receive 2 prompts: first for UAC, followed by a prompt mentioning that the Reporting component is going to be installed. After acknowledging both prompts, the reports page loads, but I still receive the 'Printing is not available. Verify that ActiveX is enabled, or try using Internet Explorer for the desktop.'

I have a Reporting Services 2005 server that when users accessed it and tried to print reports would get a message asking them to install the print control, which.

Looking at the installed/downloaded components, I see that the component is still not installed. Somethinge seems to prevent the download.

SSRS 2012 'Unable to load client print control' OR 'An error occurred during printing. (0x8007F303)' or ActiveX not re-installing We upgraded our SSRS from 2008 to 2012 and my users are under XP with IE7 or IE8, and some of us fortunate ones like myself upgraded to a new PC Win 7 / IE11 all resulting in various issues while trying to PRINT and especially PREVIEW a report. I haven't found anything documented for SSRS 2012 ( without Sharepoint ) pertaining to these issues. Has anyone else encountered problems PRINTING or PREVIEWING SSRS reports with any of these errors/messages/issues print button disabled when print preview attempted error/message: This website wants to run the following add-on 'SQL Server 2012' from Microsoft Corporation error: An error occurred during printing.
