that sounds good. i had installed the driver that came with the printer.
but
how do you find out what the printer fonts are! there is nothing in the
driver info to tell me.
When you start building the access report (and I do SUGGEST you start from
scratch), you nothing when you select he font you will see TT, or a simple
printer icon in the font drop down list. Stick to the "printer" type icons
for the fonts (you likely only have 1 or 2 choices). It been awhile, but the
fonts are usually called elite, courier etc.
That fond will/should be a 10, or 12 cpi type front. Also, be VERY careful
to line up text boxes on each line, and then make sure there is a wee bit of
space between the text boxes you place on the next line below. Remember, you
want coax the printer into using NON graphics to output the text layout you
choose.
If the printer has to resort to graphics for the output of the report, then
it will run very very slow.
Another solltuion that can help is to istall a text onlyl printer, and again
you may have better luck selecting text/printer only fonts...
If all the above faiels, you might consier outputing a text file, and then
"copy" that text file to the printer. it's been a awhile since I done
that..but, that's also a possbile way to advoid kicking out graphics.
I don't suppose I'm adding much more information at this point in time by
telling you that you want to advoid any graphical type layout such as lines
etc in your report....
