Printing pictures in report

[Guest]

I have a report that has 4 pictures per page. I am using the pathname to the
pictures and loading them into image frames, as posted here. However, I
cannot print more than about 2 pages at a time. I looked at the print failure
page mention in several posts, but I believe that converts the image to
bitmap and I need the quality of a Jpeg image. Is there something I can do,
other than printing the report 2 pages at a time?

It's possible that your printer may not have enough memory, if it's a
LaserJet printer. Perhaps the memory is a problem in your computer? Can you
print more than 2 pages if you put the pictures in Word?

One suggestion, try printing to a PDF driver first, There are free ones
readily available.

Do you realize than a Jpeg( or any other compressed image file) file is
uncompressed to a standard Bitmap prior to printing?

Do you have the "Loading Image" dialog turned off?
Do you have your code to set the Picture property of the Image control in
the report Section's Print event instead of the Format event?
