Print fails at random (Report Viewer-Server 2005)

Hello,

We have 2 seperate applications that use the VS Report Viewer Control. Both are deployed via Click Once.

Both of them have 'random' bizarre problems when you click print on the built in toolbar, some machines they print fine, others no print no error just nothing happens, on yet another machine they print to a network printer that isnt even configured on that machine... On yet other machines they throw an error about invaled spool when you click print.

All of the machines print normally with all other applications...

Is there anything in paticular I am missing to configure the printing

I am using the Viewer with a Server report.

All other functionality works as expected, (renders, exports, previews zooms ect)

Any ideas

    Hi,

    Don't know the answer, but i'm having similar issues. When my user prints a very long report (>150 pages) the last pages seem to get lost. Can't track down if the printer buffer is overloaded, but this is a very modern printer, so i suspect a bug.

    These are known issues with the viewer. A hotfix is in progress for them. I have a more detailed explanation of the issue near the end of this thread:
