Hi Gustav:

Could have been...there were some kind of Japanese printer, I do remember
the name but they were suppose to function similar to HP. That was
apparently not the case.

Hi Jim

So your report was not assigned the default printer?

If a report is set to use a specific printer setting, the name of this
must, of course, be present at the client. The printer doesn't need to
be identical with yours but similar. Perhaps that was the problem -
your printers were too different?
