Hi,

I am not able to print to a network printer from my server. I have tried about everything the I can think of, including the advice given in the "print a report from the server" thread so far, to no avail. I need to be to give my users this funtionality, as some of them are running on older machines and can't afford the resource burden of opening Crystal enterprise and printing from there, while running the various other apps they have to have running. Anyway, back to the issue. Whenever I try to assign the PrinterName property, I get an "Invalid Printer Name" Following is my code snippet and the error message.

ReportDocument oRpt = new ReportDocument();
oRpt.Load(@"C:\GreenSheet\GreenSheet\Reports\Initi alSend.rpt");
oRpt.SetParameterValue("RequestID", CurrentRequestID);
oRpt.PrintOptions.PrinterName = @"\\bhsi\laser1";
oRpt.PrintToPrinter(1, true, 1, 1);

Ive also tried:

oRpt.PrintOptions.PrinterName = "\\\\bhsi\\laser1";

and I've even tried storing the name to a variable and then just dumping the variable into the PrinterName property. Either way I get the following error:

Error in File C:\GreenSheet\GreenSheet\Reports\InitialSend.rpt: Invalid printer specified.

Thanks for any and all advice by the way. I glean more info from this forum then anywhere else it seems, and I buy WROX books all the time. The best.
