Running Crystal 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 (vb.net) --  I have a process that creates a multipage report, that is really a set of 1-page reports printed in sequence.  Using my pc ,as the developer pc, everything prints just fine using my network defined printer at my location.  When the user runs the vb.net package, which includes a Crystal Reports Viewer, there is a printer problem somewhere.  The user is on the network and using a printer that is on the network at his location. However, some of the pages print at his printer and some of the pages print at my printer.   My network printer does not show on the user's "print menu", but somehow, some of the pages print on my printer.  All the printers are on the network, but the user has only installed the printers at his location.
There is no vb code having anything to do with printer id's. The vb code simply tells the report to "printreport".
Anyone have any ideas?????
