Title:
Problem with vertical spacing when going from VFP8 to VFP9
Environment versions
Network:
Windows 2003 Server
I have an application that started in VFP 3.0 and has inched along for the past 12 years through all the different versions. I added a Set ReportBehavior 90 to get the new Report Listner and Report Output and recompiled in VFP 9.0. I had a little problems in a few palaces with the horizontal spacing but I made the necessary adjustments and though everything was fine. After deploying to 50 or so customers over the past 6 months I finally had a customer that was running the VFP 8.0 version that added the VFP 9.0 version in a side-by-side install and he had a Epson FX890 Dot matrix printer that prints the reports fine from the VFP 8.0 version that is still installed on the machine but shrinks the output to less than half the page in the vertical direction and prints the normal width. It works fine on several other printers he has that are Epson and HP inkjet and laserjet printers.
I made sure the save printer information flag was unset in the properties when I built the project. The specific printer information seems to be gone but the following is still in the EXPR field of record 1
ORIENTATION=0
PAPERSIZE=1
PAPERLENGTH=2794
PAPERWIDTH=2159
COLOR=2
Is that suppose to be left in VFP 9.0 if the printre information flag is unchecked?
Any ideas on what to look for or to try. Unfortunatly I have 6 printers in my development area and they all work fine so I cannot reproduce the problem in a development environment.
