We occasionally get the same "assertion failed" message when trying to print
to a networked printer (doesn't have to be a plotter). Sometimes the
message appears when we try to print, but other times it doesn't, adding to
the frustration. As with Tony, we never had this problem before, it's only
started since we installed 5.5. We informed MapInfo techsupport about the
problem last week, but they couldn't replicate the error, so I'm glad (in a
way) that someone else is experiencing it. The main workaround that MI
provided was to edit the workspace and delete the new line that contains the
printer driver information.
This didn't solve the problem (and it's not particularly useful, since one
of the main benefits of 5.5 was to avoid the extra work involved in
re-setting printer driver information). MI claims they're working on a more
complete and efficient bug fix, which will be free for 5.5 users. Don't
know when (or if) that will happen.
