How to change Jasper report Print name

When I send the jasper report to print, the printer shows the document name as "jasper report-report name" (When there is a printing que, document name is also "jasper report" ). How can I change it to another name?

The sample:

JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(reportSource);

JasperPrint jrPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, params, getDataSource());
if (reportName != null && reportName.length() > 0) {
jrPrint.setName(reportName);
}

PrintRequestAttributeSet printRequestAttributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
printRequestAttributeSet.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);

PrintServiceAttributeSet printServiceAttributeSet = new HashPrintServiceAttributeSet();
printServiceAttributeSet.add(new PrinterName("PDFCreator", null));

JRPrintServiceExporter exporter = new JRPrintServiceExporter();

exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT, jrPrint);
exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE_SET, printRequestAttributeSet);
exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.PRINT_SERVICE_ATTRIBUTE_SET, printServiceAttributeSet);
exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PAGE_DIALOG, Boolean.TRUE);
exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PRINT_DIALOG, Boolean.TRUE);

exporter.exportReport();


You can set report name in report template with help of name attribute:

name

<jasperReport .. name="Sample report name to print" ..>


<jasperReport

I've found this by accident, if you put a '/' before the name you want, it will remove the "JasperReports -" string from the print name.

JasperPrint jrPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, params, getDataSource());
if (reportName != null && reportName.length() > 0) {
jrPrint.setName('/'+reportName);
}


I was having the same problem as you and I'm glad that I think I found a way to work on the problem.

https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/jasperreports/blob/master/jasperreports/src/net/sf/jasperreports/engine/export/JRPrintServiceExporter.java

Line 404:

printerJob.setJobName("JasperReports - " + jasperPrint.getName());


So apparently we just need to edit this line of code (remove the " "JasperReports - " + " part) and compile it and use our custom jar distribution package.

My only problem right now is that I have not tested it yet because I have never compiled a package from source. I will update my answer when I have figured out how to compile and tested it.
