BAD PRINTER DEVICE INITIALIZATION

edited November 2005 in Devices
?
Problems with a print on device ThinPrint in Citrix Metaframe environment.
For reduction of the network traffic we use ThinPrint for Citrix
Metafarame. All other application print without problems. Components of a
print from "Fast Report" so print without problems.
RBuilder prints very slowly.
ThinPrint uses for print EMF format (GDI commands).
Since any other program/"and components FastReport" has no such problems
except for RBuilder.
I think that the reason in a error of initialization of the printer...

Tested on:
RBuilder 9.01
RBuilder 5

    For the first report in an application, there is some additional overhead to
    initialize the printer. For subsequent reports that are printer, this is not
    necessary.

    On most machines the initialization is not noticeable. If the printer is a
    network printer and the network is slow, a delay may be noticed.

    Try testing with a local printer driver and try downloading the latest
    driver.
