Fortran_WinPrint on Windows 2000

[hhurwitz]

I have used Steve Lionel's Fortran_winPrint under Windows 98SE with no problems, but, when using the same code on Windows 2000, I get a "StartDoc failed, code=6" error and the program hangs.

Before I start troubleshooting, I'd like to know whether Fortran_WinPrint has any problems with Windows 2000.

I developed it on Windows 2000. That should tell you something...

Don't have Winprint.f90 at hand, but FYI, error 6 is "invalid handle", suggesting that printer DC was not created, which probably means that the printer wasn't connected or some similar problem.

Make sure your printer is set to allow spooling. I recall a customer who had a similar problem - turned out he had disabled print spooling for the printer, and apparently that caused this symptom.
