I have another problem involving printing a form in Alpha 4 Version 8. The
version works OK when under Windows Me, but when migrated to Windows
XP, Media Edition, the function ceases to work.
This may or may not have something to do with the version of Windows.
More likely it is in Printer Configuration or Report Layout.
I am printing a form. It is about 30-35 lines in length. I wish to print
two copies of this form on the same page. (The page prints, and I
can cut the output in half, one copy for the house, and one copy for
the customer.) Currently, it is printing two pages, an identical form +
data on each of the two.
One might argue, with merit, that this is actually a better configuration,
since one is cutting the page in two, anyway. My answer to this is: yes,
you're right, but the user wants two forms per page and likes tearing
it in half.
Right now, I am using the following parameters:
1. DOS printer;
2. Installed as a generic HP Laserjet I/II/III/IV, which seems to
work;
3. Installed as Standard, rather than, Typeset;
4. Page length of form is about 35 lines; I forget whether this is
specified in Printer Configuration, Layout, or Both;
5. I forget what the present phase of the moon we're in; :-)
6. Compress = On.
I've been varying settings in Printer Configuration in Layout, without
much fruitfulness.
If someone could point out a parameter I've forgotten about or could
shed some light on why I can no longer print two copies of a short
form on the same report page, I would be grateful.
Thank you.
