Ditto what Matthew said. Isn't it at least worth a try?

We fire up the application using shortcuts that specify the reports
folders by using the "Start in" property in the shortcut. This works
fine and I've just checked the configuration, all OK. This couldn't be
the problem, unfortunately, as the same shortcuts are used by
different users, some print, some don't. I've even recreated the
shortcuts just to be on the safe side!
Thanks anyway
Richard

We use a product that makes use of Crystal Reports. We have to copy
"Crystal" Folder to each users home drive windows folder for printing
to work. Because it is working for some and not others it seems to me
it might be a path issue. Maybe Crystal is looking for this folder or
some file and it is not available because their home drive is not
mapping or something along those lines.

Hi,
I have a Win3k terminal server only using RDP, fully patched (I
think), it's an HP DL360 G3. Users are locally defined, as are the
printers, and up until Friday everything was working fine.
Then I start getting print errors with this in the event viewer...
"The document Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer - <reportname>.rpt
owned by <username> failed to print on printer <printer>. Win32 error
code returned by the print processor: 259. No more data is available."
<reportname>, <username> and <printer> are the only things that differ
between the events.
This is only happening on certain users, others have been working fine
throughout.
If I logon from my PC as that local user sometimes that user will be
able to print othertimes it won't but still throughout other users are
printing fine.
The (only) application running on this terminal server is a VB program
for electronic prescribing, pharmacy stock control etc. The users have
a locked down desktop giving access to the icons for the application,
printing etc but that's it! All printing for the application is done
using crystal reports accessing external .rpt files which can be
accessed as all users share the same files!
I haven't changed anything and I can't find anyone in our I.T. who has
changed anything.
To resolve it, I've checked the connectivity of the system ODBC
datasource that the application users, but I can't see how that would
be the problem as some users are printing. I've deleted a users
NTUSER.DAT and copied in the default... didn't work. I've completely
deleted the user, created a new one from scratch which worked from my
PC but then failed from the thin client. The thin clients have been
rebooted as has the terminal server.
I'm at my wits end and this is sort of a last hope as all the
references I've found on Microsoft, eventid.net and google have failed
to point me in the right direction.
My thanks in advance
Richard
