Set Default Printer in HTML Report Viewer Print Preview

I have websites that contain different kinds of Telerik reports. They are rendered in the HTML5ReportViewer control. Some reports need to go to special label printers. Other reports need to go to standard laser printers. It would be a lot easier on the users (and waste less paper) if the website could set the default printer for each report so the users do not have to remember to change to the correct printer.

Hello Matthew,

Most modern browsers restrict applications from modifying their print settings through JS as the default printer is determined on the client's OS.

For that reason, we have chosen to decline this feature request.
