    Hi,

    weird one here (the problem, not me.. honest!)

    A windows based program on Windows 2k professional, printng across a Win2k network to a Hp 2100.

    Everything prints fine, except for one particualr report (which prints fine on other installations).

    it comes up with an error

    Passthrough may not be supported on your printer

    and then stops, doesn't print, doesn't pass it to the print queue, desn't even begin spooling.

    Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

    Tried reinstall etc. nothing, printer driver is correct. Data format is RAW (would EMT solve this?)

    i don't know if this will work with win2k but it did work with nt .
    stop the spooler service ... start it again, there shou;d be an error message but the service will start anyway ... then try and print it.

    sorry if this didn't help.

    Whats different about that document? Higher graphic content than the others? Using some sort of link/formatting that isn't present in others?

    Off hand one thing to try is to copy/paste it into a blank (doc?) and try again.
    Still not working then try a group of pages from it at a time. See if you can isolate the element that's causing it to fail, and then track the most likely culrpit on the PC itself.
