I installed the OE Service Pack 8.1D (2011.09.29) on the weekend and now staff are reporting they can't print because there is "nothing in range to print". We figured out that we have to select "Reprint orders already printed" to solve this. After reading Brian's explanation I think it can work for us. We recently implemented a procedure where we use the Print Status to determine what stage the order is at. Confirmations are Back Orders waiting for product to arrive before they can be processed. Pick Slips are in process for picking and shipping. When Back Order product arrives, we re-print as a Pick Slip so that it is newly understood to be an order that needs to be processed and shipped.

The new feature in OE only prevents us from printing the same thing twice, but it still allows us to print an order previously printed as a Confirmation to Pick Slip. This may actually help us not to duplicate paperwork once everyone here understands it.
