    I'm pretty sure this a known problem and design limitation with SSRS. SSRS is basically designed to work with IE and the printing capability uses an ActiveX control that has to be downloaded for printing and will only work with IE. IMO, your best bet if you are using any browser other than IE is to export to PDF.

    Someone else may have a better answer.

    Hi,

    I solved my design issue using the below code. But print button is not visible in Firefox.

    <RS:ReportViewerHost style="display:table; margin: 0px; overflow: auto" ID="ReportViewerControl" runat="server" />

    Can u please help me to solve this issue?

    From MSDN someplace:

    The ReportViewer Web server control, when used with server reports, provides an ActiveX print control that you can use instead of browser print functionality.

    Since Firefox is not going to run ActiveX controls on its own you'll either have to do without or giev FF a boost. Maybe a plugin like IETab will get it to work?
