HP Deskjet Bottom Margin - new issue

rbuser

I have been experimenting with an HP Deskjet 600C. It has a bottom
unprintable area of 5/8".

Landscape reports are printing just fine. But, I am having some
surprising problems with Portrait reports. First, my reports are all
CachePages=False and PassSetting=psTwoPass. I have set the bottom
margin to 0.625. The report I am using for my tests is a simple
report - no sub-reports in it, or groups.

I have found that if the Deskjet is NOT the default printer when the
report is first previewed, and then the Deskjet is selected from the
printer selection dialog that comes up from the preview screen, that
the bottom line (as viewed in the preview) is not printed at all.

However, if the Deskjet IS the default printer when the report is
previewed, all goes well. The bottom line that is otherwise missing
appears at the top of page 2.

Do I need to tell RB to re-create the report after the preview and
before printing?

We have a patch for this in 6.03. Place the unit I'm sending to you in your
RBuilder\Source directory and recompile using that dir instead of
RBuilder\Lib
