Hi,
I want to create a service to print my reports with a json to a specific printer.
I created the code below for it, but I get the following error

combit.Reporting.LL_Parameter_Exception
  HResult=0x80131500
  Message=Parameter error
  Source=combit.ListLabel27
  StackTrace:
   at combit.Reporting.LLException.CheckReturn(Int32 returnValue)
   at combit.Reporting.LlCore.LlXSetParameter(LlExtensionType extensionType, String extensionName, String name, String value)

   at combit.Reporting.ListLabel.Print(LlProject projectType)
   at combit.Reporting.ListLabel.Print()
   at combit.Reporting.ListLabel.Print(String printerName)


  This exception was originally thrown at this call stack:
    [External Code]
    Program.<Main>$(string[]) in Program.cs

ListLabel LL = new ListLabel();
TextReader reader = File.OpenText(@"F:\Data\Projects\RbA\DB Wiki + Json\transaction.json");
JsonDataProvider provider = new JsonDataProvider(reader);
LL.DataSource = provider;
LL.ExportOptions.Add("Export.Target", "PRN");
LL.AutoProjectFile = @"F:\Data\Projects\RbA\report1.cds";
LL.Print(@"\\dc05\HP Laserjet 410 - Infra");
LL.Dispose();

Actually, you’d not set “Export.Target” to “PRN” (the target is reserverd to the export formats) but rather use

LL.AutoDestination = LlPrintMode.Normal

instead. And - of course - make sure the printer is accessible for the service user.
