duplexing not working
Hi,
I am using Report Builder Enterprise Edition Version 6.03 with Delphi 6
Enterprise Edition with Update Pack 2 installed.
I have a two-page report. The first page prints in portrait and the second
page prints in landscape. To achieve this I used childreport for each page.
I set up the data in the detail area and the form (lines, headers, boxes) in
the page style area. Both childreports are set up this way. This allows
the my client to select one the three options (form w/data, form only, data
only).
They just bought a new IBM color laser printer with duplexing so this
two-page report can be printed on sheet of paper.
My problem comes into existence when I try to print the report as a duplex
output. It seems that no matter what I do it still prints each side on its
own sheet of paper and not a front-to-back printing on a single sheet.
I have tried setting duplexing on (vertical, horizontal) in the TppReport.
I even tried setting the duplexing in each and then both of TppChildReports.
I even tried combinations of the two. No matter what I seem to do I can't
get the duplexing to work. I have tried this on both the IBM Color Laser
and on an HP 5000 with a duplexer.
I have notice that if I create a standard multi-page report without the use
of TppChildReport the duplexing works without any problems on both printers.
Can someone tell me how to resolve this? The format and the page styles
need to stay as per the contract requirements between myself and my client.
I hope the solutions is an easy one!
Thank you,
John "Desperate" Antoniewicz

horizontal for the main report and both subreports. Print this report. We
tested it here on our printer and it worked just fine- it duplexed with the
title page as protrait and the second page as landscape on the back of page
1. Let us know how the test goes.
