How can i disable the printer check?
Hello,
I'm a little annoyed, because ReportBuilders checks ervery time my printer connection.
I have a form with a report. When I start the Designer or wants to see the preview, the program stops for 60 seconds or I get a message "Waiting for printer connection", in german "Es wird auf die Druckerverbindung gewartet...".
Yes, my printer is off (Lan) or offline (WLan), but I don't need the printer. Why is it necessary to check the connection? I just want to preview the report or want to make a pdf.
How can I disable this behaviour?

ReportBuilder uses the default printer canvas to make measurements (text and otherwise) when generating the report.
You can change this behavior by changing the Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterName property to either "Screen" or a different non-printer driver such as Microsoft print to PDF or Microsoft XPS.
Note that Screen will use the screen resolution for measurements. For the best possible accuracy, I suggest using the PDF or XPS printers.
