Using print feature of ReportViewer control in locked-down networks

Problem:

When user click on the print button of the ReportViewer control toolbar for the first time, printing is available after installation of RSClientPrint ActiveX component downloaded from Internet.

In locked-down networks internet connection is not available and installation couldn’t be done.

Solution:

1. On the computer with MS ReportingServices installed locate RSClientPrint.cab (tip: Use search ! ) Beware: Use appropriate version of cab file!
2. Open RSClientPrint.cab with WinZip or clone an extract files to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations (C:\Windows is my Windows Home) in new folder RSINSTALL, on the client machine.
3. Start the command prompt
   Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations\ RSINSTALL and manually register RSClientPrint.dll with regsvr RSClientPrint.dll
   The printing feature is now enabled
