CrystalReportViewer selects wrong printer using PrintOuputController dialog

[allan11]

My client has 2 EPSON LQ-310 printers named A and B installed on computer and reports are set to print on either printer which decided at runtime. Everything works fine if application directly print to printers using RAS API. However, when client first preview the report using CrystalReportViewer control and click print button, the printer select dialog will not set to desired printer A and always selects printer B.

I am using CRforVS SP32 SDK. Print mode of CrystalReportViewer control is set to PrintOutputController and saved printer in report is set to printer A. Report generation is followed to sample app RAS2010_printing.

I had looked through many Q&A and can't solve the problem. Please help.

Yes I can print to the desired printer when creating my own print button.

But why POC showed saved printer not found when using print button in Viewer? I tired your suggested step to save the printer in the RPT file but still got same result. So the only workaround is to create my own print button instead of using print button in Viewer?
