Looks like a printer driver error. My suggestion is that you look for a
workable version of the printer driver. I think it is the only way to
convince your printer that it isn't an archaic daisywheel printer.
Good luck!

I am using VB6 SP6. I have an application that prints charts. Specifically,
it prints line charts of plant process information nightly. The code is a
mix of API calls and Printer methods. I am currently migrating to a new PC
running XP. The charting application is hanging on a single line of code:
Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape
It throws an error '484', "Problem getting information from the printer.
Make sure printer is set up correctly."
I am setting other printer parameters without problems. I can GET
orientation no problem:
pOldOrientation = Printer.Orientation
If I comment out just the "Printer.Orientation = vbPRORLandscape" line, it
works fine, just in the wrong orientation. This application has worked fine
in Win98, Win98SE and Win2K. I have been Googling this for hours and can't
find a solution. Has anyone here experienced this? If yes, how did you solve
it?
TIA,
