I need my report to auto-print to the default printer

How do I make TestStand automatically print a report to the default printer?  I very surprised that A) this is not a built-in option on the Report Options and   B) that it appears to be very difficult to do yourself.  Does nobody else have test facilities where the operators expect the test results to be sitting at the printer when the test is done?

It depends on the format of your reports. There is an example here for automatically printing an HTML report and one here for text reports. I can't say I've ever used either. My operators simply put the units that fail into a separate kanban for the debug techs. The techs view test results on their pc. We have a tool that displays the results as HTML after retrieving it from the database. Paper in general is limited on the factory floor because of ESD concerns.
