Hi Syed,

Go to Visual studio -> Crystal Report -> Project - Page Settings

Remove the check over "no printer installed"

I'm sorry for the translate but i've vs italian.

Definitivamente, esta fue la forma de solucionar el problema. Incluso funciona para VS2013.

Olha primeiro tens que listar as impressoras e escolher uma. Se usas o VB.NET aqui vai o procedimento para carregar as impressoras:

For Each Printer In PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters

            ComboBox1.Items.Add(Printer)

        Next

podes fazer isso antes de carregar o crystal report.

Ou para evitar obrigatoriedade de impressora abre o report no formato edital faça click com o botão direito do mouse e escolhe page setup "Configuração de pagina"  e desactiva o Visto que tiver por cima do nome da impressora.
