How to print Discoverer worksheets

You print a Discoverer worksheet to print the currently displayed worksheet. You can print the worksheet data or graph, and select the page items you want to print. If the worksheet contains active parameters, Discoverer prompts you to enter parameter values to refine the data that you print.

You can specify Page Setup options for each worksheet before you print it (for more information, see "How to change Page Setup options for a worksheet").

1. Open the workbook that contains the worksheet you want to print.

2. Display the worksheet you want to print.

3. (optional) Change the Page Setup options for the worksheet (for more information, see "How to change Page Setup options for a worksheet").

7. Use the operating system print dialog to set additional print options if required, and start the print job.

   Discoverer prints the worksheet on the printer selected.

   When you print a worksheet with a graph in Discoverer Plus Relational, the worksheet and graph print on separate pages. To print a worksheet with a graph on the same printed page, you can do one of the following:

   • print the worksheet in Discoverer Viewer

   • use Discoverer Portlet Provider to display multiple worksheets and graphs as portlets on a single portal page, and print the portal page (for more information, see "Publishing worksheets to OracleAS Portal")

   • export the worksheet and graph to an external application (e.g. HTML) and print the page
