I'm using vs2005 beta version and i using the crystal report component to create my report and preview the report using crystal report viewer. When i run the application, i can preview the report well in the form, all the data can be preview in the from. But when i want print out the report, all the data was gone included the label in the report, means i only can print out a blank report which did not have any data and also label,it only show the line and box but no word was print out.

Crystal Report Printing Problem

  • Craig68

    Hi, I am also having th same problem ON one of my machines running win2k I have tryed every thing to fix it but nothing seems to work. It is a vb6 app trying to print from the viewer to a network printer and it only prints blank sheets I am thinking it is a bug with crystal reports because I only startede having this problem after an update from crystal reports but I am still working on it. if any one has any ideas on what might be causing this problem plz post it.

    Hello Cherrie,

    I have not run across this.  Can you see if there are any errors in the Event Log Is this a network printer or a local printer Have you tried updating the printer drivers Are there any major difference between your development PC and the other PC that works (OS, installed apps, network rights etc)

    Hello Cherrie,

    What happens if you try to use one of our sample reports in your application, World Sales Reports Are you able to export these reports properly to another format using the export button in the viewer

    Hello,

    What type of application is this a Windows form application or a web application (which viewer are you using)

    How are you printing the report when you say "But when i want print out the report" Are you using the print button in the viewer Are you writing your own code to print using the viewer's object model or the report document object model

    Hello Cherrie,

    I've looked into this here with many different combos and I can't reproduce what you are seeing. 

    Are you able to test this with a more recent build of Visual Studio 2005 Like the release candidate
