Some machines print, some don't?

I have a desktop standalone. Mac and Windows. The windows version will print fine on some machines, but not on others. All machines are identical, all are running Windows 7. All machines have the same printer and drivers. Anyone ever see this?

I actually may have to swap computers so that the people who need this program can use it and print, whereas the others can do everything else they always did anyway. But it worries me...

Of course, on the Mac side, no issues.

Are you opening the printer dialog to have the user select printer options or just using "print"? If you're using "print" and allowing Livecode to select the printer silently, then I wonder if the troublesome Windows machines have had other printers configured previously? I have seen under Linux that Livecode (at least some versions) may not always select the default or even a currently attached and active printer when it encounters more than one configuration. I don't know if this has been addressed more recently or if it's even a possibility under Windows, but it's a suggestion based on experience, which could cause your problem.

Hi.

Thanks for the reply. I do indeed use a print dialog. And just for that reason. Oddly, though this may not impress anyone, a slightly different earlier version, with NO changes to anything having to do with printing, works fine on the machine that all of a sudden will not even show the dialog.

I am using "revPrintField". I may try some other print command just to see. At least I do not think it is a LC problem.
