Printing of Character mode reports

[vbsmanian]

I have installed Oracle Reports 6.0.8 (6i) on Sun Solaris for sparc (OS - Solaris 2.8)

I have created all my reports so that it can work in character mode. The Fonts I have selected in Courier 10.

When I invoke a report using 'rwrun60c' , From previewer when I print the report to the printer with the following parameters
DesType - printer
DesName - mth1 ( default printer attached to the server )
DesFormat - dflt

I get segmentation fault error.

Because of this I'm temporarily saving the report to a file and printing it from command line. The parameters are as below
DesType - File
DesName - rep001.lst
DesFormat - dflt

The setting made in uiprint.txt is as below
mth1:ASCII:1:default printer:default.ppd

If I invoke the same report using 'rwrun60', I can print the report directly from the Previewer.

The only noticible difference is while I open the report in GUI mode and Print it, the DesName is automatically populated with the name of the default printer when I select Destype as Printer. But in Character mode, I have to manually enter it.


Any tips of how to tackle the problem.

Thanks
