reports print differently on different printers

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Dependingon the printer, the report prints differently. Sometimes it's all messed up on certain printers on others it prints fine. I see the problem mostly with older HP printers..

Any ideas?

Hi There, What specifically is messed up? Is the issue you get what appears to be partial wrap around then gaps? So then end of a row wraps to the next line on the paper?

Does it only happen on larger/wider reports? So a simple narrow report thats much smaller than the page size works more consistently?

Assuming yes to all or most of the above, printers and printer dirvers define the printable region on the paper and there can be slight differences when going from 1 printer to another printer (or even 1 printer driver to another). Things are much more consistent these days though there are still some differences. Older printers, drivers, and operating systems exhibited a lot more differeneces.

Short of updating printers or printer drivers, you may try and change your report to make it just slightly smaller, and therefore it might fit on an older printer with perhaps a slightly smaller available printable region.

Hope that helps

here is an example

Report group header:

Invoice

Number

above is normal on a users printer it comes out as

Invoice

Number

It cuases all kinds of report problems when printing.
