we have a project with a centralized db and clients on
several pc's. We changed our printer and now some of the
client programs are not working properly. They will not
display the reports. They just exit. I am pretty sure
that I just need to somehow programatically set the
report to use the new default printer. How do you do
that?
 
Open your report to design mode, goto Page setup (File menu), look on Page
Tab. You must chose "Default printer" not "Use specific printer". If you use
specific printer and this specific printer no longer exists or changed
report will not work correct. If you use default printer and default printer
is changed, this is not problem for report, becouse report use default
printer and this printer is not definitive. Default printer is provided in
windows (settings, Printers ans faxes).

Its good practice to always use "default printer" settings becouse your
program is not responsive to printer changed.
