When I try to print a source code listing, I get a "Printer selected is not
valid" error message! No dialog box, nothing! Aaackphfft! I don't see ANY
mention of default printers anywhere in IDE environment config. I also
checked the Registry and didn't see anything obviously printer related
there.

Any ideas? (Using Delphi 4 Pro)

Thanks,

More info: I completely de-installed D4 and re-installed. Tried changing
default printer in Control Panel. Still get the error message "Printer
selected is not valid" when I try to print a source file!

Still more info (and then I'll stop):

If I try to print the PAS file, I get the error message immediately. If I
try to print the form, the print dialog appears, but clicking Setup has no
effect. Clicking OK then produces the error.

This is hoser!

I had a problem similar to this with Delphi 3. It turned out, that it was a
problem with IBM Client Access(/400?) I can't remember the exact details,
but IBM had a fix for it on their web site.

HTH,
Greg
