Need ability to print from report preview.

Why can't we print to a printer from the report preview screen? Only option is to print to PDF. I want to preview a report, then print. I do not want to be able to print only from the report launcher. Why was this functionality removed? Bring it back!

      New Vista users here, and everyone hates this part. Not holding out hope for any improvement, as this has been an issue since 2022 and we've seen no improvement, but the current process is bad.

      Agree!! I also would like to save with the report name like it used to. I dont like having to type reports "type". To many extra steps.

      Agree! This, combined with more cumbersome navigation between pages of a report, wastes time and eliminates previously-available functionality.

      100% agree.

      This unknown change when moving from on-prem to cloud is a huge pain and a lot of grumbling during testing!

      Agree!! I need to be able to print my report directly from the viewer, the current process takes a lot of wasted time

      I agree. We have 300+ users. A huge number of them are complaining about this. Sure, they can close the preview button and use the print button, but they are all used to printing from the preview button. Please add us to the list of people who would like the print button from the print preview windows changed back to print to a printer instead of printing to PDF.

      I agree. This unanticipated change when moving from on-prem to cloud was a pain point for our users. We have the ability to direct print but not the ability to direct print from a preview? Makes little sense and is viewed as a step backwards.
