Jairo Llopis 3eb0c70acb [IMP] base_report_to_printer: Fix XMLRPC calls and tests
- When added the patch to be able to configure report copies by report object, the expected signature changed to expect a report object. That can't work through the XMLRPC interface, so we revert it to what it was before: expecting the report name.
- Some tests that were producing warnings are muted now.
- The tests that had been changed went back to normal too.
- Current implementation didn't produce the expected results when actually forcing to print 1 copy.
- Added a demo report to test, since searching the database for the 1st unkonwn report found is not very deterministic and can lead to problems, like those addressed in #122 and #123.
- Finally, this update requires a database upgrade, so I pushed correctly the manifest version too.

Report To Printer
=================

This module allows users to send reports to a printer attached to the server.


It adds an optional behaviour on reports to send it directly to a printer.

* `Send to Client` is the default behaviour providing you a downloadable PDF
* `Send to Printer` prints the report on selected printer

Report behaviour is defined by settings.


Settings can be configured:

* globaly
* per user
* per report
* per user and report

Installation
============

* Install PyCups - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycups

.. code-block:: bash

   sudo apt-get install cups
   sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev
   sudo apt-get install python-dev OR sudo apt-get install python3-dev
   sudo easy_install pycups OR sudo pip install pycups


Configuration
=============

After installing enable the "Printing / Print User" option under access
rights to give users the ability to view the print menu.


Usage
=====

To show all available printers for your server, use the
`Settings/Configuration/Printing/Update Printers from CUPS` wizard.


Then go to the user profile and set the users printing action and default
printer.

Caveat
------

The notification when a report is sent to a printer will not be
displayed for the deprecated report types (RML, Webkit, ...).
