Missing Print Lines

edited September 2002 in Devices
I have a report with a memo field. On most printers all text prints fine, on
my HP Laser, complete lines are randomly missing from the memo. A blank
space is where the Text should be.

Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

Thanks for you help!

    Another possibility is that the report is not being regenerated for the
    printer you've selected. The report may be being printed from the page
    cache resulting from the screen preview. Download the demo version of RB 7
    as it includes fixes which include a problem in older versions of RB that
    didn't regenerate the report when it should have. The reason it needs to be
    regenerated is as Mike has said, all printers have a different unprintable
    area. They may also measure the height of the text differently and result in
    a slightly different area available for the text to fit within.

    Demo Version of RB 7. I am about to take my app to production. How will a
    Demo Version affect me?

    Thanks

    Sorry, I wasn't clear. If you are using an older version of RB, such as
    6.03, you can test our latest version (which includes all the fixes to
    previous versions) to see if it will solve your prolems without having to
    purchase RB 7 just to test it. If RB 7 demo fixes your problem, then you
    need to upgrade to RB 7 full version for production use.
