Not all pictures print

rbuser

Not all pictures print on a multiple picture page listing.

I am printing 1" wide x 1.5" high pictures with a text name under each,
5 columns left to right, (up to 5 rows per page). Pictures are jpg,
stored as blob fields in a table.

1st attempt had 23 pictures, # 20 (row 4, column 5) and #21 (row5,
column 1) did not print (blank, not skipped), although the text names
for them did.
(HP 970 inkjet)

2nd attempt, set to print from cache, one pass had 25 pictures, the left
two columns did not print the pictures although the names for them did.
Pictures # 20 and 21 that did not print in 1st attempt (now in a
different sequence) DID print on this page.
(HP 970 inkjet)

3rd attempt, same data and parameters as 2nd attempt, printed to a PDF
file and then printed the PDF file and everything printed correctly.
(HP 970 inkjet)

4th attempt, same data and parameters as 2nd attempt, but printed
directly to HP laserjet 2100, and everything printed correctly.

I do not know where to start looking. Is the solution more likely to be
in ReportBuilder (6.03), or Delphi 6, or Windows 98, or HP print drivers
(current version recently installed), or printer memory (except worked
in attempt 3) or ???

Make sure you have the latest pritner drivers installed.

Try toggling the TppImage.DirectDraw property.

I set DirectDraw to True and now it works. Thank you.
