problem with c# PrintDocument and Windows 2000

Question

i wrote an application with C# in .Net 2.0
it seems to work OK on windows7 and WinXP, but on Windows 2000 i am experiencing problems with my self written reporting class.
It basically creates a PrintDocument and fills the page with drawString and drawLine.
But if i try to print on the older windows2000 computer on one of my clients, only the lines appear, the text is not printed.

First i thought it's because of font problems, but Arial shouldn't be a problem ?

I read something about XPS in newer Windows versions. Could that be the reason? if yes, is there a way to fix it?

best regards, robert

Could be to do with the installed service packs.

.Net Framework Version 2.0 with Service Pack 2 is the latest version, and fixes all sorts of stuff. It Requires Windows 2000 SP4 on Windows 2000 plus the KB835732[^] or KB891861[^] updates.

Even with all this installed there may still be problems according to Microsoft.

In addition I would recommend your client upgrade. Even the extended support[^] for Windows 2000 ends 13/07/2010.
