I can print fine from WordPad and NotePad and the program editor I use. I just can't print anything using getPrinter(). I've issolated the problem by placing a message_box before and after the getPrinter() statement. I see the first messagebox message, followed by the Printer Err and then my second messagebox message. The Printer Dialog does not appear. Derek Parnell wrote: > Do you get the error with any other software?

I renamed Euphoria to something else then installed Eu 2.2 on the XP. That is all I changed. The Printer Dialog works again. I renamed Euphoria to something else and then installed Eu 2.3 from the zip file version. The Printer Dialog works. Maybe my first installation had a problem -- but on both machines? I'll see if doing this also clears up the problem with the Win98 machine and report back.

It worked with the Win98 machine also. I'm at a loss to know what happened. I know I used the Installer for the Win98 but used the zip version for the XP so that is not the problem. And I had renamed the Euphoria folder prior to installation in both cases. <shrug> Anyway all is now ok and I got a better printer out of this than the one I first bought.

I spoke to soon! I had forgotten to run the patch to change EU exw from 3.1 to 4.0 and after I applied it Printer Dialog no longer worked. That was the thing I had changed, not versions of Euphoria nor types of printers. So where is the problem, Eu or Win32lib? Judith Judith wrote: > It worked with the Win98 machine also.

I can confirm your problem using a patched version of Eu version 2.2. I never noticed because I don't print stuff using win32lib. I'll dig in and find out what's happening (I'm willing to bet it's Win32lib...) -- Brian Judith wrote: > I spoke to soon! > > I had forgotten to run the patch to change EU exw from 3.1 to 4.0 and > after I applied it Printer Dialog no longer worked.

Not much help but I've run out of time for now. xPrintDlg is returning 0 and CommDlgExtendedError is returning PDERR_INITFAILURE. But only fails on patched version of interpretter. I'll keep digging when I get a chance. For what it's worth, I'm testing on XP and the SDK mentions: Windows 2000/XP: The PrintDlg function has been superseded by the PrintDlgEx function. (But we know it works using the unpatched version...) -- Brian Derek Parnell wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Brian Broker" <bkb at cnw.com> > To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> > Sent: Saturday, March 02, 2002 11:10 AM > Subject: RE: Printing > > > > I can confirm your problem using a patched version of Eu version 2.2.
