infopath printing in sharepoint

Question

Can any one explain how to print the infopath data in sharepoint

Answer 1

If Form is posted in a Form Library AND you have made InfoPath fields available as columns in Form Library, you can add them your your active view, sort them, set page size, export them to excel, or print from there on. You have to promote properties to columns from InfoPath designer. If not already done so for the published template, you need the orignal template, and design it in InfoPath designer.

If columns are not available, you still have form data available in XML and things might take different routes depending where you want to go.

You can programatically read xml of all infopath forms in the form library, apply search filters, do XSLT and generate HTML files, you can set page size or directly send to printer.

You can also use templating techniques if you have a template.
