Hi Don,
I ran across a strange problem. Our customer uses a Canon iR3235/iR3245 PCL5e printer driver with 4 trays. Everything's running well except when selecting Drawer 4 (Id=264), the printer switches to Auto. The other trays are working well as they are standard-trays as upper or lower... (I think so)
The problem comes, when a formula Check is used between configuring the printer and printing.
Here a sample code:
With _crystalMainReport.PrintOptions Using pd As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument = New System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument() pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = printerName For Each ps As System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSource In pd.PrinterSettings.PaperSources If ps.RawKind = .PaperSource Then .CustomPaperSource = New System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSource() .CustomPaperSource.SourceName = ps.SourceName.Trim .CustomPaperSource.RawKind = ps.RawKind Exit For End If Next End Using End With ' the problem code _crystalMainReport.ReportClientDocument.DataDefinition.FormulaFields.Find("Test", CrFieldDisplayNameTypeEnum.crFieldDisplayNameName, CeLocale.ceLocaleUserDefault) ' Check With _crystalMainReport.PrintOptions Dim message As String = "PrinterSelectConfig" & vbCrLf & " - Printername: " & .PrinterName & vbCrLf & " - Duplex: " & .PrinterDuplex.ToString & vbCrLf & " - Source: " & .PaperSource.ToString & vbCrLf If .CustomPaperSource Is Nothing Then message &= " RawKind: (not defined)" & vbCrLf Else message &= " RawKind: " & .CustomPaperSource.RawKind.ToString & " (" & .CustomPaperSource.SourceName & ")" & vbCrLf End If message &= " - Orientation: " & .PaperOrientation.ToString & vbCrLf & " - Papersize: " & .PaperSize.ToString MessageBox.Show(message, "Debug", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information) End With
When you comment out "FormulaFields.Find", it works well, RawKind is set. With the Find, CustomPaperSource becomes Nothing.
Both logics have nothing to do with each other, but seems nevertheless to have an influence....
BTW. I use SP18.

Turned out to be a work flow problem, Set printer info and then change the report reset the printer properties.
Hi Patrick,
That's odd I installed the printer and I don't see Tray 4 or one with that high of an ENUM, but after some configuring I now see it:
I'm on Windows 10, what OS are they using?
Can you get the config screen shots from that printer?
Can you verify the report? If something is wrong with their formula it's possible CR is simply resetting all changes
I believe you have my e-mail, send me the report so I can check it, since this new piece of @#$# no longer allows you to attached renamed RPT file.
Don
Yes, you have to configure the additional trays in the printer driver:
I can reproduce the problem on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, .... I have not tried Windows 10.
I don't think that the report matters, I'll tried different reports - same behavior.
I'll send you additional info by mail.
Thanks,
Patrick
