Ah, and that is the point.  Silly add one, even if it doesn’t actually exist.  Just add one.

I would if I could but there are no printers connected to that machine at all :(

Hello Andy,

Do you have an actual printer selected as a printer, even though you will never use a printer? Just try choosing any printer.

Hi folks

Scratching my head with a daft issue - running Omnis 6.1.3 under Linux (last desktop version which will do so) and I have an instance where one user is not able to print reports as pdf’s - they get saved as a zero length ‘.txt’ file instead - but other users on the same machine work fine saving pdf’s (using the Omnis python reportlab option as no Brainy component for this version on Linux)

Clearly I have done something (or more likely forgotten to do something) when copying the Omnis folder from user to user but cannot either remember what or work out what ! Does this ring any bells with anyone else who uses Linux Omnis ??
