Hi,

I am having same issue as here: Solved: Report Printing issue in BC Version: IN Business Central 27.5 the issue has been marked as solved but there is not a real solution proposed that worked for me. (sorry if i am not supposed to repost an answered question, it is my first post)

The issue is that we are no longer able to print any DBC report through the "Preview & Close" action on any report's request page (for my 2 sandboxes updated to 28.0, my production and sandbox environments which are both on 27.5 don't have that issue).

I tested with all three: Chrome, Edge and Firefox with the same behavior; which seems to be affected by DBC's version:

28.0:

Using "Preview & Close" action on request page opens the report in preview
Nothing happens when using action "Print" from preview
Other than that, expected behavior for all other tests:
- Save from preview works
- Able to print saved file using file explorer
- Able to print from request page directly

27.5:

Expected behavior for all tests:
- Using "Preview & Close" action on request page opens the report in preview
- Save from preview works
- Able to print saved file using file explorer
- Able to print from request page directly

I was about to update my production to 28.0 today but with that issue I will be waiting for the next minor update which should hopefully fix this up.
If anyone can please confirm if they are able to use the print action through the "Preview & Close" page, that would be helpful.

Thanks

I did a quick test and there were no problems.

Browser: Google Chrome 147.0.7727.138

BC: W1 28.0 (Platform 28.0.49703.0 + Application 28.0.46665.49736)

Thanks.

We are facing the same issue. The error occurs when clicking the print button in Chrome, as shown in the attached image.
Version: W1 28.0 (Platform 28.0.49703.0 + Application 28.0.46665.49824)

Hello,
This really looks like a BC 28.0 client/platform regression, not a browser issue, especially since you reproduced it in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, and the same flow still works in 27.5; per Microsoft docs, printing should be supported both from the request page and from the report preview menu bar, so if Preview & Close → Print does nothing while Save/Download and Print directly from the request page still work, I’d treat the direct request-page print or saved PDF print as the workaround and avoid updating production until Microsoft fixes it in a minor update, or raise it through your partner/admin center support with the exact version comparison you listed.

Regards,
Oussama Sabbouh

@YUN ZHU I am also able to open the preview page as in your screenshot, but when trying to use the print action once on that page (bottom far right action), nothing at all happens.

@BD-05050401-0 Good to know that the issue is not only on our side. Thanks a lot for taking the time to try and reply to the post, it is appreciated !

@OussamaSabbouh Also seems to me that this is an issue related to BC update 28 and independent from the browser. We don't currently have a support plan with microsoft so I will be hoping that they get the feedback from other users and solve the issue in 28.1.

Thanks everyone for your tests and your answers.

This issue began for us on 5-7-26 but did not exist prior to then. 5-6-26 the print button was working. Perhaps our client had not updated till then?
Thank you for easing our minds, good to know it is not an internal issue. Now we wait for MS to get a fix out I guess.
