Lost features when moved from RB 7.04 to RB 11.06

edited October 2010 in Devices
When I moved from Delphi 5 and RB 7.04 Enterprise to Delphi 2007 RB
11.06 Professional the printer lost some features.

Example:
2-Up printing and Watermarks don't work.
2-Sided works fine.

I'm using the printer: Sharp ARP 450. I've tried Brother MFC 8860DM,
with no success.

Thanks in advance

    Hi Ailton,

    I'm a bit unclear about the features you are missing. When you say "2-up"
    printing, do you mean two pages printed side-by-side? If so, this was never
    a feature of ReportBuilder. Also, how are you creating a watermark on your
    report? Are you doing so using the PageStyle band or manually like in the
    following article?

    Hi Nico,

    You are right. My question isn't clear. I'll try to reformulate it

    2-Up printing and Watermarks don't work.

    Both aren't RB features.
    They are included, manually, by the user, using the Printer's driver

    The user (just before print), pressed the Advanced Button at Printer's
    drive and select this features

    When the system is compiled using RB 7.04, both features work fine.

    When them system is compiled using RB 11.06, the report isn't send to
    the printer.

    Would the new RB implemented some parameters that control this kind of
    action?

    Hi Ailton,

    Thanks for the clarification. My first suggestion would be to upgrade to RB
    11.08. This may have been a bug in 11.06 that we fixed. Contact
    info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number and purchasing email
    address for upgrade instructions.

    Going forward hope you will be upgrading to RB 12, which includes many
    powerful new features.

    Here is a link to What's New for RB 12. (Use the side menu to navigate to
    more detail).

    Also note that we have launched rbWiki, a great RB 'How To' resource that
    contains hundreds of tech tips and downloadable code examples.

    Hi Nico,

    I followed your suggestion and installed RB 11.08. Unfortunately it
    still doesn't worked out

    Do you have any additional suggestion?
