Odd, could be something on your end blocking it... Or it could be because I just updated it it needs 24 hours to replicate:
Symptom
WEB viewer has ability to select PDF or ActiveX Print modes
Enhancement Request:
.NET Windows Form Viewer should have the ability
to select the default PrintToPrinter or PruintOutputController.
Environment
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio

Resolution
Idea Place suggestion -
After dropping the CR Windows.form.Viewer onto your form you will now see a new property called:
- PrintMode
With the option to select
- PrintToPrinter
- PrintOutputController
as the default print API when selecting the viewers Print button.
In code you can make this selectable also using the following:
- crystalReportViewer1.PrintMode = PrintMode.PrintToPrinter;
- crystalReportViewer1.PrintMode = PrintMode.PrintOutputController;
Note: The PrintToPrinter API has not changed and will be the default value.
PrintOutputController uses the same printer dialog box as Crsytal Reports Designer users so this should be more familiar to end users.

See this KBA 2163438 for an example of printing and selecting the new Property
You could try it also to see if my test app works for you
Thanks again
