    Resolved Printer Error resolved

    i have an app that has been deployed for about 6 years, it has just started generating a error 482, printer error

    i have error handled this now and the program can complete without printing, but it is supposed to print

    the app just prints to the default printer, no setting of printer object or anything
    some setting of printer properties first, then all printing is done with printer.print, then printer.enddoc

    the workstation seems to print alright from other apps, i tried changing the default printer, same error, during the time the app has been in use they have had several different printers, with no problem, the current printer hs been there for about 12 months, it is a network (ethernet) printer, it currently has a warning status, but other programs can print without problem or warning, also i changed the default printer to test
    i am unable create the same error here to test no matter what i try, turning printer off or disconnecting cable etc

    anyone got any suggestions, or come across this sort of problem before?
    i can post code, but it doesn't seem to be a code problem

    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
