We have customers using RB and Citrix successfully. We do not have any

There are two plain text output formats in RB.

This is a delimited text format. Use the File | PageSetup dialog of the

One solution is to check out the Gnostice source code to determine what the

you could change that to True.

Try using the EnumJobs Win API function to check the status of print jobs
for a specified printer. See the Win API help for details.
ReportBuilder does not contain any functionality to check the status of
print jobs.

- ReportBuilder uses standard Windows API commands to render to the printer.
The printer driver translates the windows commands and controls the printer
hardware. PCL or Postscript can be generated by different printer drivers.
You can simplify/optimize the report layout so that it can be more
accurately translated to the primitive .txt output format. For an example
run RBuilder\Demos\Reports\Demo.dpr and check out demo 107.

This is not a known issue. By design, generating a report to the printer or

require special code.
