I currently have one report that runs everyday through Crystal Enterprise automatically on a schedule. It's destination is a printer that is installed on the server as a network printer (std tcp/ip port). I have designed another automatic report, and I am trying to get it to print the same way, only to a different printer. If I schedule the report for "NOW" it runs and prints no problem. WHen I set it run daily, the report runs succesfully according to the status, and I can view the instance. However it does not print to the printer, it gets saved in the Crystal output file repository. I cannot find a communication problem between the server and the printer. Is there a setting somewhere that I have missed? I have already compared this with the reports that prints successfully,, and I see no differences.
 
Sounds odd...

Try scheduling it to run in a minute or two from now, and keep the instance open and watch what happens.

If you schedule it to export, does it do so correctly?

I'd also try saving the report again under a different name to make sure that something isn't corrrupted within.
