Couple conclusions we have come to.  We had the user log in through Citrix and didnt get this error.  She also prints to file first now and then goes and prints her reports without the error.  Could it have been some sort of print issue where the file she was printing to was seeing her as trying to write to a read only file?
After changing multiple parameters to the problem, you cannot determine which change fixed it.  Could be the use of the Citrix box.  Could be rights of the logged in user.  Could have been conflict with an older Btrieve/Pervasive engine on the workstation.  Could have been related to printing (though I doubt it).

You'd have to go back to the original situation, duplicate the issue, and the change ONE variable at a time to really figure it out.  If it's working now, it's probably not worth worrying about.
We have her going though Citrix and printing to file as a workaround but not as a fix.  I would still like to know if its a printer issue or the Btrieve.

Status 46 is definitely a Btrieve issue.  Of course, the application could be sending temporary data to a Btrieve file WHILE printing and getting the 46.  Duplicate the problem, then see "less intrusive solution" above and start there.  Let me know what you see.
