Printing using ReportViewer - SSRS

Question

We are using ReportViewer 2015 in our ASP.NET Web application and using it with IE 11. When users (without admin permissions), try to print reports, they get the following error:

If i click, cancel on this error: then the following pop ups appear:

and then regardless we click yes or no, we get the following message:

Previously we were using Report Viewer 9 and this was all working fine but that version of Report Viewer does not render well in IE 11.

Also we are deploying RSClientPrint-x86.inf to all user's machine.

We have also temporary assigned users admin permissions to their machine and when the set up happens on their machine, we have copied the RSClientPrint assemblies and then distributed them but it does not work.

Also even once the assemblies are deployed, as soon as the admin permissions are taken away from the user, their printing stops working again.

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

First, to eliminate the obvious, have the user permissions been set correctly? Quick search yields a link

Second, reporting services use Windows authentication by default. Looks like you want to use forms authentication like so.

EDIT : So it looks like it is an Activex installation rights issue. For Activex installation without admin rights, on an admin command prompt type ocsetup.exe AxInstallService and enable it once done. You will have to configure it using GPMC. More details on that are here.
