Here is more:

I downloaded pdfx class just to see if I understand how to implement based on the object assisted style.
Incorporated it in my program, no problem


Local locListener As "PdfListener" Of "Pdfx.vcx"
locListener = NewObject('PdfListener', 'PDFx.vcx')
locListener.cCodePage="CP1252" &&CodePage
locListener.cTargetFileName = Alltrim(lcTFile)
locListener.QuietMode=.T.


and guess what... I get the same error 1958 Error loading printer driver...

I don't know what to do next... IUSR user (that the com object is running under) has access to printers and cann write to folders
Is it something related to features that are not available to automation servers?

help?

thanks, alex s
