background: Built a VB 6 app that develops graphics through CD 10/11. Worked on Win2k great for about around a year. It printed to a printer on the network and to a printer at a plant in another city through VPN.

Recently, it was moved to a WinXP box. It will now only print the the network printer and not the one through VPN. Even opening a saved page built by the VB app won't print to the VPN printer. Other graphics apps will print to the VPN printer (Illustrator, Acrobat).

The CD graphic hits the printer, we see it blinking, etc, then it just dies. We don't get an error message or anything, it just quits and the printer resets to ready.

I'm stumped for a reason. We've installed the latest CD 11 patch. Anyone have any possible thoughts what might be going on? I'm inclined to think that XP may not like CD 11 and that the printer file itself may be getting corrupted in it's travel down the VPN tunnel, but that's a little beyond me.
 
update: the patch (SP1) seems to have solved it. hmmmm.
