Our entire user base is running 11.0.0.676 on Windows 10. I believe this is the latest version of Paradox.
Today, there is 1 user whose Paradox app is hanging when executing the command printerSetCurrent. Rebooting does not correct the issue.
code snippet:
stPrnName = "Win2PDF"
if printerSetCurrent(stPrnInfo) then ; THIS LINE HANGS
setRegistryValue("Software\\Dane Prairie Systems\\Win2PDF", "PDFFileName", pathstring , regKeyCurrentUser)
setRegistryValue("Software\\Dane Prairie Systems\\Win2PDF", "file options", 2, regKeyCurrentUser)
setRegistryValue("Software\\Dane Prairie Systems\\Win2PDF", "persistent", "0", regKeyCurrentUser)
else
errorShow("Failed to make Win2PDF the current printer")
endIf
Has anyone run into similar issues with printerSetCurrent?
Thanks,
Gary |

yes, that's been the final version of Paradox for many years
step thru the three lines, see if you can see if one hangs, rather than the SetCurrent.. although I have no clue what to suggest once you know.. once those values have been set, why do they have to be reset every time you print?

It is definitely hanging on the printerSetCurrent command.
That is just a snippet of the code. The larger process saves the name of the current printer, changes the current printer to Win2PDF(which is a PDF writer we are using). At the end of the process, it changes the current printer back to the printer name saved earlier.
I think the only thing left to try is to uninstall Paradox and re-install it. |

I'd suggest a bad registry entry over a bad paradox, in this case.. uninstall both

It turns out that installing Adobe Illustrator is the culprit. There must be some incompatibility. |

wow.. not a totally uncommon combination, but it must have taken some interesting detective work to figure that one out

Fortunate to have a reliable user.... "the only thing I did different today was install Adobe Illustrator". |

We've had this problem "forever" and haven't figured it out. Windows 7. It seems to come and go, but could be related to unusual status of one of your printers. Try rebooting, etc. Try removing unneeded printers. |
