REP-3002: Error initializing printer

Question

Hello,
This is my configuraton:
Computer 1 : nt4, sp3, installed: Oracledatabase 7.3.4
Computer 2 : nt4, sp3, installed: Oracle WebDb, forms 6i, formserver 6i and reports 6i.
Services WebDb and Listener are running.
I've connected an HP LaserJet III to the parallel port of computer 2. In the printer
control panel of NT4, this printer is set as the 'default' printer.
'myform.fmx' is a simple form.
The code consists only of a 'when-button-pressed' trigger as follows:
declare
pl paramlist;Ln varchar(15) :='Elsa';
BEGIN
pl :=get_parameter_list(Ln);
if not id_null(pl) then destroy_parameter_list(pl);end if;
pl :=create_parameter_list('Elsa');
add_parameter(pl,'DESTYPE', text_parameter,'PRINTER');
run_product(REPORTS,'C:\ORANT\REPORT60\myrep.rep',1,BATCH,FILESYSTEM,pl);
destroy_parameter_list(pl);
END;
'myrep.rep' is a simple report, consisting of:
select user from dual;
generated by the wizard.
When I run the form in preview for the web in formbuilder 6i, then it works very well,
it prints my report.
But when I run it from the cgi 'ifcgi60.exe' by the command
start -> programs -> oracle forms 6i -> run a form on the web
it returns
http://pent2.easyware.be/dev60cgi/ifcgi60.exe?
form=myform.fmx&userid=&otherparams=useSDI=yes&
lookAndFeel=generic&colorScheme=teal
then the error returned in the webbrowser is
'REP-3002: Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed.'
if parameter 'DESTYPE' is set to 'SCREEN' then it works very well, I can print by clicking the print icon.
Please can someone help me.
Best Regards,
Carl Willems.
