Hi tribhuwan32, I only have access to an older and somewhat dysfunctional version of the CR .Net control, so yours may well work differently than mine. When I click the printer icon on the Crystal toolbar it only has the option to generate a PDF. Does yours work that way as well, or does it print directly?

Did you change the character encoding for Firefox? If you are getting what looks like empty boxes instead of letters, it usually means that the character codes being used are not recognized by the font being used. It could also be that the font is corrupted. Did you check the font that you want to use?
