In the bottom right corner of the Report Viewer in Perspective, there are two options, one to download the report or print. Is there a way to script what the print button is doing? A few of our users have mentioned how small this button is and I was wanting to give them a bigger print button that still has that print preview screen it triggers, but I can't find any documentation that would be useful. Has anyone else done this or can share some links to info on this? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/e/9ea8ca975121cccd8764f0347202f9c4797565e5.png) ---

Disable that button by setting props.allowDownload to false, and use a button component with system.report.executeAndDistribute. > **[system.report.executeAndDistribute | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-report/system-report-executeAndDistribute)** > > Executes and distributes a report.
