Hi all,
I have a strange issue with an invoice report with a JPG as a background.
The jpg is printed with the report and I put my controls (name, address,
city, details...) in the report header and body
In my develop pc it is all ok.
In costumer pc, controls are printed in other positions, about 1 cm in high.
In preview it is perfect
I think the problem is the printer driver, but how can I create a report
right for all pcs?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Andrea...
It's perfectly normal and due to the physical margins of your printer (ie the area that is not printable)...
The report editor is not able to help you for that case. You'll need to calculate the physical margins of your printer while printing, then use iprint syntaxes to print in absolute coordinates, etc...
In case you don't want to spend the time reinventing the wheel, all this is detailed in my printing chapter in my WinDev Video Course, and all methods necessary are available in the clPrint class coming with it...
Best regards
Fabrice

G'day Andrea
Most laser printers will not print to within .25 to .40 of an inch for top, left and right hand margins and as much as .70 of an inch for the bottom margin.
The default border in a Windev report is .394 of an inch all round so you may have some success by defining an average report page size for this report, with larger top and edge margins and especially a larger bottom margin as this may enable printing on most laser printers.
You can do this in the menu option: Report > description > format
Regards
Al

Hi Fabrice,
but the printer is not cutting a part of my report.
What appen is that while in preview "name" is in the correct box
(relative to jpg background),
but printing "name" is highest in position compared to the jpg.
I have this problem if I push PDF button in preview also.
Sorry for my bad bad english.

Hi Andrea...
unfortunately, positions described in a report are relative to the
physical margins... Which explains why the same report on different
printer isn't exactly the same... And that's why you have to calculate
the physical margin and print in absolute position (ie by substracting
the physical margin to the position you really want)...
Lots of fun, and not possible in the report editor, only when using
iprint, iprintline, etc
best regards

You could also send the report to a PDF file (if you aren't
printing directly to the printer) and program around that.
I've found this issue with the Windev print preview window
from time to time.

Hi,
Not sure about this (and I don't have time to look into it right now), but for most print output there is an iGeneric option available which doesn't take the installed printer driver into consideration and thus makes the output always identical. You might have a look into this in the online help.
Just my 2 cents,
Peter

Hi Georgio and Peter,
Thanks for your suggestions,
The iGeneric is used for pdf print only. I tried it and the result is
correct in position but, I dont know why, the quality of background jpg
in pdf is very low.
I have to try with other image format (gif, png etc) to see if results
are the same.
Another idea is to leave the report modifiable with "report and queries".
I never tried it.
Bye
