A colleague put together something like that at a previous employers - crystal reports on a PC with some clever perl scripts that automated report generation and would mail it through to the requester.
The issue of reporting has obviously never been a priority on the WUT. Regards Dave ps - Graham - if you're looking at the list today, that reports server you put together was a most excellent piece of coding! -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org]on Behalf Of Mayfield, Andy L.

Our guys have to print a copy of the ticket for procedural reasons, but maybe I can find a way around it by generating a report then printing it. I wonder what the problem is and why they have never corrected it. Andy L.

Have tried it on versions from 5.1.2 onwards, and its generally been close to useless. It either gives inconsisten results, or prints off a garbled mess. Maybe its much improved on v7.5?

You can attempt to print again and it will come out fine most of the time. Sometimes you have to do it two or three times. It appears to very sporadic and random in nature.
