Input Past End of file

[mhollyts]

I installed 3.0 several weeks ago and reprinted all my song books. I just downloaded new songs and went to use the "Print New Release Pages" option and get the "Input Past End of File" Error from the HP Print routine. If I reprint the entire book it works. I can get around this the old way and move the songs to another directory and build the song database over but I would like to use the new option. Any thoughts as to why this is not working?

Every thing else works just fine.

I have rebuilt the song database. I have tested the printer. No other changes have been made to the system.

Thanks.

could there be something wrong with your registry ?

[mhollyts]

If the print works for the entire book and not just the New Releases I would guess that it is a problem with Hoster in reading the Access DB. I have made no changes to the system.

what do you have for a computer ?

[mhollyts]

I got a Dell Dude....

4600 Dimension
XP Home SP 2
2.8 Ghz
1 GB Ram
1/2 Drive Space Free.

By the way.... I make my living in fixing Computers.... Karaoke is the Wife's thing...

[Beavis]

did you start fresh with this computer ? and do you have all windows updates??

printer drivers too ?

[mhollyts]

This computer was purchased Karaoke. It does nothing else.. Yes I have installed all the latest Updates but, No driver updates lately.

It prints the entire song book just fine. It just does not print the New Releases.

I have the same problem. I get the exact error message he does.

It has not been a problem yet but will be when I add my next 900 songs due in a few days.

I'm using a MTU Portable PC, and a Toshiba Laptop both have XP Home, All the latest drivers, and updates.

[Beavis]

the updates are important. its printing the whole book because its a word document. you are selecting to print part of the document.

[Beavis]

is that the exact error your getting ? no numbers or anything ?

[mhollyts]

I did not actually print the entire book over.... I told Hoster to print the book. The new word RTF files were created. I request Hoster to print just the New Releases and I get the error. It does not even create the Word RTF file.

It does create a new TEMP1 Access file and a HOSTER.DAT file. It does not create the Artist or Song Word files.

[mhollyts]

Yes, Little Box from HP Print Driver routine. You can fire off the HP Print down in the Hoster Programs and get the same error.

[DJYale]

Input past end of file, it's a read error generated when a program attempts to read data that's not there. 99.9% of the time it's an internal error and no amount of windows updates in the world is going to fix it.

i havent messed with the printing of the songbook since i upgraded to 3.0


bryan you will have to answer this one.

[MTUSUPPORT]

DjYale is correct. The Updates won't work for this one. I will have to play with this to see what happens, and see if I can recreate the problem.

[flipper]

I had this problem starting with the last update prior to 3.0, and continued when I added 3.0.

Same message "Input Past End Of File"
