Canvas does not allow drawing ERROR Message
I found this problem on Windows Vista..
If there is no default printer driver on the server computer, or if the "Permissions" for the default printer driver are not properly set, users may encounter the error message "Canvas does not allow drawing" in the report generation the report will not appear on screen. Sometimes this is the result of security software which has altered the permission settings of your printer driver.
Resolution:
1) Verify that a default printer driver is installed and specified on the print server computer. If there is none, install one using the MS-Windows "File/Add Printer" option on the Windows "Printers and Faxes" control panel. This problem took me several hours to find so I have posting this information here in the DOCS.
