Nobody changed the printer. This is Dell All in One Photo 962 printer and all reports are .FRX.
>Did you by anychance change printers as well? Were you printing to this printer before in the program and if so, did you try a different printer driver? Is the report an .frx or is it a report created in code using @...say or ?? If the report is not an .frx, if the printer is new, is the printer a GDI printer by anychance?

>>>Hi Jerry,

>>>I created two simple batch files. One tells the machine to print to the server's printer (you would change "\\server\Okidatam" to the location of your server's printer):
>>>
>>>@echo off
>>>echo Disconnecting LPT1 from any other connections
>>>net use lpt1 /delete
>>>echo Rerouting printing to \\server\Okidatam
>>>net use lpt1 \\server\Okidatam
>>>pause
>>>
>>>And the other tells it to break that connection so it goes back to printing locally:
>>>
>>>@echo off
>>>echo Disconnecting from the Server's printer
>>>net use lpt1 /delete
>>>pause
>>>
>>>Good luck!

>>>>>>>>>I've got an old FPD 2.5 application that's running on our XP network. The app runs just fine, but when the user tries to print anything, nothing happens. Their printer is set up properly, as they're able to print from other apps (Microsoft Office, etc.), but not from this FPD app. I look at the printer, and it doesn't show any jobs out there, so it's as if the job isn't being sent to the printer at all. The code hasn't changed in years, so their shouldn't be any problems programmatically.
