Using Windows 95 for remote printing to a Cannon 600e and OI V2.6 rlist printing does not print although the usual OEngine printing message appears. Report designer is ok however.

Huw Morgan,
There were some OS-related fixes to printing in the OpenInsight for Workgroups 3.2 release; these fixes addressed problems in Windows 95 and Windows NT related to the BASIC+ print statement and to the Print_ functions. The R/List printing is based on the print statement, so it is possible that the problem you are encountering has been resolved in 3.2.
I am unclear what you mean by "remote printing", however. Do you mean printing to a printer on the network? Over a WAN or modem?
One way to test for a problem with the print statement is as follows:
subroutine Test_Print(void)
declare function IsEventContext
declare subroutine Utility
* if this subroutine is called from a window, allow printer selection
if IsEventContext() then
Utility("PRINTSETUP")
end
printer on
print "This is a test..."
printer off
return
Please try it with the remote printer and try it with a local printer and post the results. If you have a copy of 3.2 or later, please try it on that as well.
Best of luck,
Cameron Purdy
