• Visual Studio Express Editions Printers - bizarre behaviour

  I have an application that prints address labels to an Eltron TLP2742 thermal printer. It works fine on the development machine but not when installed on the target machine it is intended for. When an address is printed from the development machine it is via the printer shared on the target machine and the address prints no problemse.
