>With Vista os my application cannot set or change printer in report designer because i can't find printer button in page setup but XP yes....
>how to make printer button appear in my application ?

This is a behavior change in Vista. The "Printer" button is no longer visible in the "Page Setup" dialog. The reason is that there may be printer specific information in the "Page Setup" dialog that can cause a prblem if the printer is changed. Microsoft suggests using the "Print" dialog to set the printer and advanced properties. You can do everything from the "Print" dialog, just click "Apply" and "Cancel" to save your changes without printing.

I posted more information about this in my blog: http://blog.moxiedata.com/PermaLink,guid,7860a9ef-6260-4e6f-b472-5abe8e8d0e36.aspx. (It is near the bottom of the post)

I posted another blog entry today on how to invoke the "Print" dialog programatically, using the PrintDlgEx API function. You can access it here: http://blog.moxiedata.com/PermaLink,guid,ba1f3061-a387-4faf-81a5-2cf8d6f520ab.aspx.
