[WD23] Print image has moved too far right!

Hi all,

A weird thing has happened to my app since upgrading from WD21 to WD23. The print image has moved automatically! All reports now print approximately 5 mm too far to the right, so the last character of the rightmost column disappears! InWD21 I did not have this problem.
I have set the printing margin to be 5 mm on the right for each report, and previously it has been enough, but not any more. Nothing else has changed (that I know of). I have not touched the reports and the printers are the same as always. Tested in Win 7 and XP, same bug in both.
Any hints on how to fix this without re-adjusting the margins of each and every report?

Best regards
Ola

Hi Ola,

did you try on different printers?
are the reports still printing correctly with the old version?

I'm asking just in case v23 is not responsable, and you just had a printer driver update creating the problem.

Best regards

Hi Fabrice,

Thanks for the response.

Not tried on different printers. I have 2 ea rather old HP 1320 Laserjets; they both are the local default printers in the Win7 and XP machines, where they are used daily for printing sales documents and reports from my ERP. No changes in drivers. No changes in reports. The reports have fixed margins defined in the report properties.

They printed just fine with correctly placed printing images last week when used with the "old" app (compiled in WD21). I now deployed the new version (compiled in WD23), and this problem jumped on me immediately.

If there is no easy solution, then I will add the horizontal and vertical margin shift parameters to the local parameter file and read and apply them in the ititialization of all the reports.

Best regards
Ola
