endless blank pages : can a printer be RB incompatible

edited April 2003 in General
Hi there,
I installed an app. in a customer office.
RB 7.0 (the 7.2 readme doesnt state any fix related to that) + Win98 +
HP LaserJet IIIp (oldie but goodie)
The report is printed on infinite blank pages.

I tried to follow the possible causes of problem but everything seems
ok.
So my question is very simple : can it happen that a printer simply
doesnt work with report Builder ?

best regards,

Etienne

    Etienne,

    If the margins of the report exceed the printable area of the printer, the
    report engine will skip to the next page and eventually do so endlessly.
    Try increasing the margins of your report before you print to the new
    printer. You can also check the printable area for the laserjet and try to
    adjust the margins of your report to match. Usually .25 inches is
    sufficient.
