Printing Report in Landscape

[astahl]

Hi,

Is there a problem with printing a report that is setup for landscape when previewing? All it ever shows is portrait and rest of report is cut off.

Hi Ashley
Not as far as I know.
I routinely print in landscape and haven't seen a problem.

Ahsley, try to install a printer using any windows driver. The printer does not need to be connected, just to have the forms defined.

If you are running the program as a service, then configure in the service manager the service to run as a defined user which at least you already logon once.

Remember to define that dummy printer as default if you can.

I forgot to say, after the printer is installed, restart the application so it can see the printer and the forms

Let us now how it goes.

Hi,

I have a dummy printer installed on the server and is set as the default printer. Maybe I should try and install a laser printer instead of a HP deskjet. What are you guys using as a default printer?

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the help!

Found the problem!
The report had a detail only band and was set AT(0,0,11000,8500) for landscape. The Report had landscape ticked on, so everything looked correct.
Changed printers and such to no avail. Desperate I put a header in the report and it then printed in landscape!!! Happy me . The report was using the report templates.
I am so used to hand coding all my reports in source procedures that I no longer realized the need for the report templates needing a header.

Thanks again for the help and suggestions.
