Our application is using Crystal XI and VB6.
When our users run reports, they can select to have the report go directly to the printer.
Recently, we've run into a problem where the report would not go to the printer at all. Investigation showed I had set the report page setup in design mode to "No Printer". So I "fixed" this, and set the report to default to my HP black and white printer on my development PC. Now, when our users send the report to a color printer (their default), it only prints black and white.
Am I doing something wrong??? Shouldn't the report.PrintOut go to the user's run-time default printer? Are there some settings in Crystal that are causing my reports to ignore the run-time default printer and use the design-time printer?
Can I force the assignment of the printer to the run-time system default printer in VB? I know how to retrieve the default printer within VB6, but I don't know how to set it for the report before it runs.
Thanks so much for your help!
