We have set up some printers as Windows but are "losing" some lines of print which are there when the same print is called using a printer set up in Baan !

Advice and polite abuse welcome !:confused: :confused:

Do you have the newest bwprint version (comes with the newest Baan Windows client version)? In some older versions there is a problem with font heights or line spacing, so lines will be larger than expected with the result of some lines "dropping out" on the bottom of the page.

In the new version you should be able do define the font height/font spacing thing. (Right mouse click in the preview)

Hi Uli

Many thanks for response . We have BW 6.2 the same version as our porting set

I am unclear as to the session and point at which we right click
can you assist there ?

Currently when we select the ttstpslopen we have defaults of

Paper A4
Font Small (17.1 cpi)

Should/could we select Paper A486 (84 lines) ?

when you are selecting the print device tick the preview box.
Then right click on the report preview that is displayed.
This only sets it for that particular client if you wanted to alter it for all you would need to export the registry component that controls the font height/font spacing and install it through a login script or change each one individually.

Many thanks , but having checked more thoroughly our problem appears to be that print is not lost if from various clients it is directed to one printer but it is if directed to another . Both HP one a 4100N yhe other a 4050N with the "same" printer config
Just one is configured as a Windows and the other through Unix

We will try your solution but are concerned of effects when users select different printers. Obviously there could be a fault with the printer

Output send via bwprint to a printer or via Unix will always look a bit different.
Check the paper type defined with the printer, then within the paper type the fonts and within the font the no. of lines and no. of characters.
That should give you a clue what's going on.

I personally don't like changing fonts with bwprint, this means output from one location could look different compared to another location. It's not really manageable.

Kind regards,
Han

Most of the times the problems of getting different print outputs using the BWPrint is that the damn windows printer drivers are all but WISIWIG.
I think that it's more trustfull the printing that comes from a UNIX printer.

Thanks for all contributions

Finally resolved ( kind of )

Reason may have been caused by "page break" being created in std baan report but resolution achieved by selecting Paper Type A486.

Now looking for downside of this, other than users saying why can't it be landscape .
