Sorry if am a stupid!!! ________________________ Sharadha

hi It seems to as if you have driver and working printing device attached it should work and it does not matter what it is a plotter.matrix or laser printer you can print a pdf? so you should be able to print that report just your windows should correctly support driver for that printer Please mark this as answer if it helps.
