  Hello,
  
  I have a v12 XML-based section report in an application that several of my customers have run except one and I don’t know the cause and I can’t yet duplicate it in my development environment. I am hoping you might give me a clue. The exception is
  
  System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The data is invalid

  Hello,

  How are you! long time no hear !

  It is possible workaround for this error to implement a custom print dialog such as below:

  
  Using dlgPrint As PrintDialog = New PrintDialog()
                  If dlgPrint.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
                      sectionDocument.Printer.PrinterSettings = dlgPrint.PrinterSettings
                      GrapeCity.ActiveReports.PrintExtension.Print(sectionDocument, False, False, False)
                  End If
              End Using
  
  

  Thanks,
  
  Mohit

  Mr Mohit,
  
  All is well except this customer with this weird error.
  
  Do you know what exactly is the cause of the error? It is only this one user getting the issue.
  
  Thanks a lot
  
  Brian

  Hello,

  In my understanding, this error problem occurs when there is a compatibility issue with the installed printer driver

  Also, you can try after using the standard dialog: Document.Print(GrapeCity.Viewer.Common.PrintingSettings.UseStandardDialog);

  Thanks,

  Mr Mohit,
  
  Ok, I was talking to the customer and the problem is coming from the Print icon on the Win.Viewer form after they see the preview on the screen. So I am going to try using
  
  Me.rptViewer.PrintingSettings = CType((((GrapeCity.Viewer.Common.PrintingSettings.ShowPrintDialog Or GrapeCity.Viewer.Common.PrintingSettings.ShowPrintProgressDialog) _
  
  Or GrapeCity.Viewer.Common.PrintingSettings.UsePrintingThread) _
  
  Or GrapeCity.Viewer.Common.PrintingSettings.UseStandardDialog), GrapeCity.Viewer.Common.PrintingSettings)
  
  on the preview form and see if it helps.

  Thanks
  
  Brian
