SYMPTOMS

During the print process from (I)CntrOutl, a server application is asked to render its display with the TARGETDEVICE structure set to NULL instead of containing a valid structure. This implies that (I)CntrOutl wants a screen representation rather than a printed representation of the object.

CAUSE

(I)CntrOutl is not filling out the TARGETDEVICE structure; it prefers to use a screen representation on the printer, rather than request the printed presentation.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
