SSRS 2008 R2 client print control downloads every time I print
We are running SSRS 2008 R2. Clients are a mix of Windows 7 and Windows XP, right now mostly Windows XP (SP3).
Whenever we try to print a report using the print button, it wants to download and install the client print control the first time you try to print a report in a new browser session.
That is, we open a browser, navigate to a report, click the print button, it pops up the "Internet Explorer - Security Warning" window with the "Do you want to install this software?" dialog. Name is "SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2", publisher
"Microsoft Corporation".
If I click Install, it installs and then I can print. It does not do that on subsequent reports as long as I do not close the browser.
If I close the browser, then repeat this process, I have to install the control again.
How can I get it to install so it doesn't ask every time?
We also have some reports on a SSRS 2005 server and it does not do that for those reports.

Hi,
We are facing same issue. Our version is 'SQL Server Reporting Services 2008' not R2. Is there any fix/sp for that?
Thanks.
