tppline not printing

rbuser

Hi,

I know this was an issue in 2007, but the thread does not give an answer:
I'm using D2010 with Reportbuilder

I have several Tpplines on my form.
They show nice in the preview, they export correctly to a PDF file, The PDF
prints them too, so that's allright.

But if I print my preview to a printer no Tppline is visible. It applies to
both of my printers: ( laserjet 2200 and CP1518 Color laserjet )

Tppline:
Style = lsSingle
Pen.style = psSolid
Pen.Mode = pmCopy
Pen.Color = clBlack;
Height = 1.8 mm
Width = 100 mm

Hi Leon,

We have not heard of an issue like this for the latest version of
ReportBuilder.

If you create a simple report containing only lines, are they still not
showing up? Are you able to print shapes or text with borders?

Are you able to successfully print to a virtual printer such as Microsoft
Office Document Viewer or XPS Document Writer?

Nico,

Printing to a virtual XPS-printer works fine .
Printing direct from Windows XP to my (network) laserjet works fine
Printing direct from Windows 7/64 bit to my (network) laserjet skips Tppline
Printing to the Virtual XPS-printer, and then print from there to the
(network) laserjet works fine.

I use TppLine objects quite extensively and have not seen anything like
this.

Can you reproduce it in a demo? If so, I would send it to support in a demo.

Edward,

I changed the HP-recommended "HP universal printer driver for
Windows7/64bit" by the default plug and play driver of windows
( not recommended by HP ) and now evertything looks fine.
Apparently the HP "universal" printerdriver for Windows7 ( 64 bit ) is not
very universal after all.

So if you want to reproduce the problem: switch to the "HP universal
printerdriver", haha.

Hi Leon,

Thanks for the update. I'll take a look at this driver.
