>>I've noticed that sometimes in WindowsNT (Don't know if it's specific to NT but that's what I'm running on) when I send a report with "to printer prompt", some of the printers listed in windows don't show up.. For example if I check the printers folder, I can see maybe 4 printers but in the options dialog I'll only see 1 or 2 of those.. The local printer seems to always show up but some of the network printers don't show up.. I haven't a clue why this is happening..

This is a solid lead, especially if the app is written in FPW. The Win16 interface has problems with long share names and share names containg some characters like spaces. If the printers that have the problem have >12 characters in their share name, or the share name contains a space, this would be my first guess.
