John,

Laser printers have to build a bitmap image of the whole page in memory before the printing of the page starts. 1 meg printers generally can not contain the entire image of a 8.5x11 @ 300 dpi page. They will either have to upgrade the memory or you will have to set the resolution back to 150dpi. No amount of simplfying the report from the VFP end will help. Addon printer memory is pretty cheap these days, I'd strongly suggest that to them.

>We have an application that contains a report that is an income tax form. It contains lines, shaded areas, and text in various fonts including various sizes, bold, and regular. The problem we are having is that some of our users are having trouble printing this form on some laser printers with 1 meg of memory. The real question is, what is it in a report created with the report designer that adds to the memory requirements of the report. What can we change to reduce the memory requirement of the report.
