Printing Issue - Lines

rbuser

Hi,

We are in the early stages of re-writing some of our existing reports using
ReportBuilder. These reports are currently in Crystal.

On our report headers and footers, we have an horizontal teal colored line
object . In Crystal, this line prints on color printers, as well as on
black only printers. I happened to notice that the line no longer appears
on black-only capable printers when printing the report through
ReportBuilder. If I change the color to black it does appear. We require
the line to be colored in both the preview and the printout, unless the
printer is black only. In which case it will print out in black.

I hope I've described the situation clearly. Is there a property I should
be setting?

Thanks,
Mike

Some NT printer drivers have trouble with grayscale objects. You can display
the line in ReportBuilder by usign a shape object and setting it's height to
match that of the line.
