Lexmark 515 only print blank pages

rbuser

I got a 7 height report that print well on a HP but on a lexmark printing
from an XP computer print only 8 (sometimes 65555 pages) blank pages instead
of one 7 inch tall page. I added footer and lower and upper margins but no
luck . Create a form on the server property on the Control Panel>Printer
setting a new form of 7 inch tall and still have the problem. That report
print well on windows 98 computer with the lexmark printer. Any suggestions?

Hi Carlos,

1. Take a look at the article below on how to troubleshoot endless page
reports.

2. What type of printer is this (i.e. laser, dot-matrix, etc)?

3. Try updating the printer driver you are using for this printer.

------------------------------------------------------

1. Check each report/childreport and make sure that the Report.DataPipeline
property is assigned OR AutoStop is set to True.

2. Try setting all Detailband.PrintHeight to phDynamic. It may be that you
have a fixed height detail band that is too large to print on a page.

3. As a test, try commenting out all event-handler code associated with the
report. Make sure that you are not manipulating the dataset in any manner,
while the report is generating. This can cause the report engine to get
lost.

4. Save the report under a new name and try incrementally simplifying it
until the issue goes away. Then incrementally add complexity until you
isolate the cause of the error.

If you still have an issue after performing the above steps, please create a
simple, minimal Delphi project and e-mail to support@digital-metaphors.com
in zip format.
