Invalid Printer error 2

[Halfcan]

Hello,

I'm using v8.5 and keep getting this error message when I open one of my reports:
"This report uses and invalid printer. The default printer will be used instead."

Does anyone know what this means?

Thanks,
Andy

I get this message every once in a while. It means that the report was last saved with a different printer in the Printer setup.

Shouldn't be any problem, unless the report was written for a specific printer (dot-matrix, label printer, laser, etc).

Cool. That makes sense. Thanks.

yes....this often happens when one is designing a report for use in many offices....you should always set your reports to work with a default printer...otherwise you will get that error if the user doesn't have that specific printer driver installed.
