Print driver? version10.04

edited August 2006 in Devices
?I just upgraded to 10.04 and have a user that gets a floating point
error returned from print driver after the print preview sends the
report to the printer. The delphi app is the only one giving the
error. If I print the report to a PDF and print the PDF it works fine.
The printer is a network printer and multiple machines give the same
error. I have the same printer that the other user has and mine works
fine.....

Was there any change that could cause this?

    Hi John,

    Which version of ReportBuilder did you upgrade from? Do you receive this
    error when you print directly to the printer (no preview)? Is your printer
    connected over a network like your users'.?

    As a test, in the main Form OnCreate add the line of code shown below. This
    will cause the Delphi runtime error checking to ignore floating point
    overflow errors that occur in the printer driver.

    uses
    SysUtils;


    Set8087CW($133F); // turn off floating point exception checking

    I upgraded from 6.04. The printer is a network printer connected via
    ethernet cable, it is an HP 2600n Color Laser. We have several of these
    printers and all of them print fine except one, and it only has a
    problem from my program. It is not a problem with the report because
    preview works fine. It is just when the report is spooled to the
    printer from preview or directly. All other applications print to that
    printer ok.

    The error is "Floating Point Overflow". I get it with all reports, even
    simple list reports that do not contain number, just text. All my
    reports do contain a graphic of the company header though!
