    What version are you using? This was a problem in older versions of RB. This
    should not be an issue in the latest version (RB 7.02). If you are using RB
    7.02, then how can we reproduce the problem? Can you reproduce the problem
    using any of our end user demos? If you are using an older version, then
    please upgrade to 7.02 at our website at www.digital-metaphors.com

    we are using RB6.0.3 and we dont want to upgrade right now... can we change
    anything to do this?/ it is just happening in one workstation..??? any
    ideas.. we have never seen it in other places... any setting?

    We made enhancements to our source to address this issue. Upgrading is the
    only way to solve the issue for sure. The only other alternative is to
    download and install the latest printer drivers to workaround the bug in the
    6.03 source.

    I have seen this when there were no printers defined on a workstation. Make
    sure that there is a default printer set up, network or local doesn't
    matter.

    Is your workstation connected to the networkprinter ?

    Hi Shiju,

    If you've verified the connection to the printer is good and can print from
    other apps, the printer driver is the latest, then there is not much you
    will be able to do since it is most likely a bug in RB 6.03 source code.
    Upgrading is going to be the easiest solution rather than trying to debug
    and fix your version of RB 6.03. Please contact info@digital-metpahors.com
    for upgrade information or surf our website at www.digital-metaphors.com
