Hi guys
I recently posted the following on Off-Topic and only got one response
so am moving it to the main list.
The delay in following it up was because I was away for a few days, not
because it is non-urgent!
"
I have just done an installation where my app is having problems
printing.
I am using D3 with QuickReports. This is the 14th installation that I
have done, the 5th on a network. They have a Win 98 network.
The symptoms are: Start App, Preview Report - all OK. If I print the
report either from the Preview screen or direct, then the error light
comes on the (HP LJ 6000P) printer.
If, however, I merely open and close the printer setup dialog box,
without changing any of the settings, it prints OK from the preview
screen (the correct printer is selected, incidentally). If I generate
and try to print another report then I am back to
square 1, until I again open and close the setup dialog box.
Excel and Word etc print from this workstation with no problems.
Question: What could be causing this? or failing that, how do I
programatically open and close the printer setup box every time the
print button is clicked (horrors!).
Thanks for your help
Mark"
Patrick suggested the use of a 3rd party component called EDSPrint, but
it seems to me that it should be able to be fixed without the use of
something like that.
Any suggestions of what tests I should be doing to track down the
problem would be gratefully received.
