A printer driver is required by ReportBuilder to produce output to a printer device. ReportBuilder by design uses the Windows API to communicate with your printer driver which in turn sends commands to your printer. If you are currently able to print to your BOCA printer with other code or another application, you may be able to export your report to a text file and simply print that text file as you need.
Comments
"The simplest and preferred way to communicate with your BOCA printer is to
open a port (parallel, serial or USB) and to write directly to the port."
How can I do this (i.e. not using a printer driver, per se, but
generic/text) with Report Writer?
TIA,
