Linda,

Check difference between values stored in the reports Expr field for HP2200 and HP4.

>I have an application that allows reports to be printed to file so that they can be concatenated before being sent to the printer. Recently the client reported that certain reports started to "hang" while printing to file while others took up to 200 times longer to print to printer or to file. I think I've localized the problem to a new HP2200 printer I have in my office. When that printer is selected as the default on a dev machine, the reports also take a very long time to print to file (if at all!) and will be more than double the size on disk than when another printer, the HP4 for example, is selected. This is the weird part though: cleaning out the Tag, Tag2 and printer references from the Expr fields is not sufficient to cure the problem at the client site. Is there somewhere else this information can be stored?
