pro_vb thread: Print Job -- Alignment Problem


Message #1 by "Avinash" <avinashraj@h...> on Tue, 18 Mar 2003 01:57:44
Hi All,

I am using an API call to print a line of text directly on a dot matrix 
printer.  I'm not sure if the API approach is right. Essentially I need to 
print one line at a time, realy quickly and avoid any form feeds. I may 
need to work with old dot matrix printers such as Epson LX 800 etc. which 
have very minimal page size settings. In the past I have used the Printer 
object but failed to avoid form feed. Thus the API approach..

My app needs to print on pre printed stationary and I've got the alignment 
done. the probelm is that page 1 prints fine, page 2 experiences some 
amount of sliding( either towards the bottom of the page or some times 
towards the top...I mean that the whole print job slides a little away 
from where it is supposed to be at). Page 2 has a higher degree of sliding 
and the differece keeps increasing with each page.

I've seen the same problem with some Crystal Reports.

What could be the problem ? Im sure its something very elimentary that I 
have over looked.

Any Ideas/Suggestions will be great, 
Thanks and regards,
Avi
