Do you know which viewer you're using? Are you using the rdc?

Try posting specifics.

Here's the sample apps:

Search for printing to printer within.

-k

There should be a SelectPrinter method of the Report object:

SelectPrinter [DriverName], [PrinterName], [PortName]

Depending on how you're accessing the crystal print engine, the method may differ.

But I didn't find a Method SelectPrinter

SelectPrinter is a method of the Report object. Do you have a craxdrt.tlh file? If so, look at line 515:

HRESULT SelectPrinter (
_bstr_t pDriverName,
_bstr_t pPrinterName,
_bstr_t pPortName );

I don't know specifically how to use it with C++, but the logic is:
Open up a report
Login to the data source/Set data source
Set the printer
Print or send to a Viewer.
