JM, in addition to Javier's & MikeB's responses, you might also check that there _really_ is enough disk space wherever the temp file if being created.

No problem when report is less than 70 pages. But for bigger reports, printing stop arround page 40. Error message depends from environment (DOS/WINDOWS, spool/direct output), but in all cases, end of report is lost. When run from DOS, or WINDOWS+direct output (no spool), RBase display error message : 'Disk I/O error, check disk ..... Press return to continue' and end of report display onto screen When run from Windows/spool, printing is very fast (because queuing) and user can exit from Rbase to Windows before page 40 is printed In this case, Windows error message say something like 'Check time delay and retry ...' HP 3330 is connected to local parrallel port with a birectionnal cable. Printing timeout are set to standard values (45/15 seconds). Changing those values has no effect .... Some points seems importants to me : 1) The same error happen when HP3330 need paper. 2) HP 3330 is suppose to have 32 Mb memory, much more than the total size of the report (arround 670 Kb) It should print without protocol regulation. So, why HP3330 do return an error ? 2) the same report prints correctly to an old HP 4 connected to the same cable. As buffer's memory is much smaller , Windows errror display from time to time 'Communication error, retry in 5 seconds RETRY/ABORT' but printing resume until report finish. This is probably NOT a RBase problem, but may be some of you could help ? Ideas are welcome .... TIA J.M. GRATIAS, Logimatique
