Why Can Print To Network Printer But Not To Print Server?

rbuser

I have an application that prints fine to a network printer connected
via a port to a computer. If the user chooses to print to a printer
attached to the network using a print server, I get a message of
"Accessing Data..." and this goes on for a long time.

Are there any special settings I should use to print a report to a
TCP/IP printer?

Hi Frederick,

ReportBuilder is not aware of local vs networked printers, or the type of
networking. Windows and the Printer driver handle all of that.

ReportBuilder <--> Windows API <----> Printer Driver

- as a test try printing from another application, such as Notepad.

- ReportBuilder caches the list of available printers. Try adding the
following code to refresh the list, prior to calling report.Print;

uses
ppPrintr;


ppPrinters.Refresh;

myReport.Print;



Best regards,
