Hi,
A ongoing problem but to this day still not solved.
When having multiple printers, local or lan doesn't matter, defined on your pc of which one is of the brand Sharp.
When this Sharp is NOT the windows default printer
When using reports designed with another printer (thus not with the 'No printer' option)
When printing one of these reports and setting Printername = the selected Sharp printer
report.PrintOptions.PrinterName = prtname 'this line causes error when printer = SHARP ! then an error is thrown : "Invalid printer is specified"
This happens only and with all Sharp printers, be they installed with PCL6 or PS latest version drivers downlaoded from Sharp.
Even tried with their Universal Driver
See attached project which you can run and test by manually installing the Sharp MX-2614N printer locally.
- Button 1 = a report designed with a Brother printer. If you chose this button and select the Sharp printer, you'll get the error
- Button 2 = the same report designed with this SHarp MX-2614N. This 'll work if you print it on a MX-2614N
- Button 3 = the same report with the 'No printer' option. No error here But the layout is always printed to your Default Windows printer so
this is not an option either.
Version of Crystal : 13.0.16.1954
How can this be solved?
