XP Pro uses long file names (eg, usernameDocuments and Settings) that QR can't handle. Check this out by right clicking MyComputer, Properties, Advanced, Environment variables and change ALL blahblahusernameDocuments and Settingstemp to just C:TEMP This might not be the problem as you say some reports do print (but with an extra page) - NO idea why this is so.
