Sometime ago (2-3years) someone (matthew??) posted some code that fixed problems, if the default printer was a network printer and either that printer was not available, or the machine was not on the network, then a AV/Exception is raised on application start (and crash).
I think the offending code is in TPrinter.SetPrinter towards the end of the method somewhere.

The app doesn't even start - it's not just on printing. They say they haven't changed the printer or anything else in the set- up. I've suggested, in the meantime, that they try downloading the lastest driver for their printer. They've loaded the app on another workstation, pointing to the original DB and it is working as a stop gap measure.
