Reports with bitmaps

[Martin Jeffreys]

Hi
I've a number of access2002 reports that include bitmaps.
The bitmaps only print if the print Quality is set
to 'Normal' - if 'Fast' just the text.

I've tried setting ther default printer settings for the
PC, the specific printer setting in report design mode -
but the actual setting used keeps reverting to 'Fast'

Any Thoughts?

My conclusion would be that the Windows printer driver for your printer does
not consider printing pictures to be "Fast". As I recall, that has long been
a feature of "Fast"... it gives you lower quality text and no pictures. Try
a different setting... like "Normal" or better.

I don't know of any workarounds, but you might ask in a newsgroup devoted to
the Windows O/S product that you are using.

P.S. Next time, if you feel compelled to post the same question to multiple
newsgroups, _crosspost_ with all the newsgroups in the list, so all the
answers will show up. You "multiposted"... that is, posted the same question
separately in different newsgroups and "news" doesn't aggregate the
responses when you do that.
