Sample Report Delivery Problem

I have done everything in the Readme.htm to setup the delivery extension.
When I go to New Subscrition for a report to try to test I get 'Object
Reference not set to and instance of on object', that displays on the page.
Thanks in advance.
here is a bit of the log file.

Make sure that the assembly name is correct and located in the bin directory
of the reportmanager.

Sample Printer Delivery Extension Question

I'm trying to use the printer delivery extension sample that comes with SQL Server Reporting Services. The problem that I am having is that when I am going through to set up the subscription using a printer the printers that I try to select come back with an error that states that the printers are not installed. I have double checked the config file and they are indeed added to the configuration as specified and I have double checked to make sure that the printers are added to the server. In fact one printer is the default for the report server that we are using. Can anyone please assist me or point me in the right direction?
TIA,
MelanieHi Melanie,
Just take note that the code that checks if the printer is installed is case
sensitive. write a simple program using the code the example uses to
compare the installed printer, and check for sure what it is looking for...

Sample Printer Delivery Extension

I am trying to test the Sample Printer Delivery EXtension. I have built the
assembly and moved it into the RM and RS bin folders.
My RSReportServer.config file addition looks like this:
<Extension Name="Printer Delivery Sample"
Type="Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.PrinterDeliverySample.PrinterDeliveryProvider,Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.PrinterDeliverySample"
Visible="True">
<Configuration>
<Printers>
<Printer>\\BUSINESS01\KILLINGTON</Printer>
</Printers>
</Configuration>
</Extension>
My RSWebApplication.config file entry looks like this:
<Extension Name="Printer Delivery Sample"
Type="Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.PrinterDeliverySample.PrinterDeliveryUIProvider,Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.PrinterDeliverySample"/>
I have restarted the ReportServer service. When I go to report and create a
new subscription, I still see only the Email and FileShare delivery options.
What is missing?
Steve BurtHi,
did you have any luck resolving this? Having the same problem. Seem to
have the correct config settings and security settings but no printer option
displays.

I now get an exception when I try to create a subscription to the report. It
says that the printer is not available. I thought this might mean the
service account under which the ReportServer is running didn't have the
specific printer configured (this is a network printer, not directly
attached). I checked this and the printer is configured for the service
account.
So no joy thus far.

> > Steve Burt|||Hi Steve,
I think you have to change the service account to an account that's part of
the domain, so that it is possible to see and interact with the other
printers. I also have the same problem. If I was you, I'd try to maken a
"reporting" user and let this user be the reporting service account (be
careful with permissions!)
Hope it helps. Otherwise, there are several other topics concerning this
subject somwhere in the newgroup.
Kind regards, Koen
