Ability to set the printer name
A common scenario is to specify the printer name when printing a report.

Currently, this can only be achieved with manual printing where you can pass the PrinterSettings object(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.printing.printersettings(v=vs.110).aspx) with specified PrinterName as a parameter to ReportProcessor.PrintReport method.

Let us know if you think exposing the PrinterSettings object (for example as the setting of the viewer) would benefit when working with reports. Please share your thoughts and ideas on this topic in the comments.

Thank you.

In Telerik Reporting R2 2017 SP1 (version 11.1.17.614) ( https://www.telerik.com/support/whats-new/reporting/release-history ) we exposed PrinterSettings and PrintController to the WPF and Windows Forms viewers PrintBegin event.

Being able to set the 'current' printer when a report is shown in the Report Viewer would really help our users, so that if the report is printed, the required printer is already selected, as we use one printer for A4 reports, one for labels and a third one for scripts.
A further enhancement would be to suppress the print dialog box, so that the user does not have to click Ok after selecting Print in the Report Viewer Toolbar, as the 'correct' printer is already selected.
