Can NPrinting generate an empty report if it cannot apply a filter?

[elaine_dunwoody]

The user wants NPrinting to generate an empty report if it cannot apply a filter (i.e. the filter values does not exist in the data). Is it possible? Currently it gives the error "Cannot apply filter Filters" and does not generate the report.

no it cannot. 

Instead what you can do in this scenario is to concatenate to your data model all required distinct values so nprinting will be able to apply filters but there will be no factual data linked to it hence report will be empty.
