Hello,

I have a report which prints records one after the other based on the order number provided to it. Is there a way to put all the order numbers in sequnce and print them directly to the printer 1 at a time. Basically the printer has this functionality where it can staple a batch so the requirement basically is if there was 10 invoices 10 stapled batched should be ready.
 
I am using asp page to fire the report and the smartviewer to  view the rendered report.
 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

To order the report by order number, set the first group to Order Number on the report.  If you're not using groups, set the first sort to Order Number.

There is no way that I know of to send printer commands to the printer from inside the report.  This goes for things like stapling, changing paper orientation, changing printer trays, etc.
