Hi, I got this weird problem the other day.. My app was running on a Win 98 machine (I think it was a Celeron 400).. It print invoices from MS Data Reports and after a while, it stopped printing.. It uses a shared print off another computer.. When I checked the print drivers, they where gone.. Nothing in there but the Add Printer icon.. I rebooted and it all came back.. This happened afew times during the day.. Has any experience this? Is this a Windows issue or could something in my VB app caused this?
Thanks
John
 
I suspect it is a Windows memory management issue. Perhaps you should contact Microsoft support or your printer manufacturers support to assistance.
 
I've seen this too. It is windows, not vb. Never found the cause, and in fact have not seen it for a long time. Peter Meachem
