Solution 1

error message here:

JavaScript

var stillonLoadState = viewerReference.get_isLoading();

because problem here:

JavaScript

var viewerReference = $find("ReportViewer1");

because $find("ReportViewer1") failed.
Are you sure ReportViewer1 exist ?

Solution 2

The error message is pretty explicit:

Unable to get value of the property 'get_isLoading': object is null or undefined

Which means that from this:

JavaScript

var stillonLoadState = viewerReference.get_isLoading();

viewerReference is null.
It's loaded here:

JavaScript

var viewerReference = $find("ReportViewer1");

So $find is returning null.
Since it returns null is it can't find a control with that ID:

You need to look at your page and see what your report control is called...

Here is my code, I wasn't able to find why the $find("ReportViewer1") going null though if the control id is same "ReportViewer1". When if im using $get it's working fine. But that doesnt contain get_isLoading property.
i've tried the code from the following link
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/selvar/2011/04/09/invoking-the-print-dialog-for-report-viewer-2010-control-using-the-javascript-api/

<pre lang="HTML">
<form id="form" runat="server" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">

<asp:Button ID="btnClose" PostBackUrl="ReportsNewMain.aspx" class="classname" runat="server"

<div align="center">
<asp:Panel ID="PanelButtons" runat="server" Width="527px" BorderColor="#999999">
<asp:Button ID="btnPrint" runat="server" Text="Print"
OnClientClick="PrintReport()" />

</div>
</form>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function PrintReport() {
try {
//var viewerReference = $find("<%= ReportViewer1.ClientID %>");
var viewerReference = $find("ReportViewer1");
//var viewerReference = $get("ReportViewer1");
var stillonLoadState = viewerReference.get_isLoading();

if (!stillonLoadState) {

var reportArea = viewerReference.get_reportAreaContentType();
if (reportArea == Microsoft.Reporting.WebFormsClient.ReportAreaContent.ReportPage) {
$find("ReportViewer1").invokePrintDialog();
}
}
}
catch (err) {
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = err.message;
}
}
</script>
</pre>
