In our current reports, we are not specifying a printer in the setup, but still running into a few problems. To be fair, this is a project I've inherited that should have used a word processor mail-merge function instead of Crystal, and is using the old compiled reports option for distribution. But you are saying that for typical banded reports, I shouldn't have problems with different printers as long as I don't specify a printer in the setup, right?

>>We are considering moving our report forms from VFP to Crystal Reports. We have worked with it a little bit, but have had some problems with the reports printing inconsistently on different printers, such as fields running together. Since our clients have a lot of different printers, is this going to be a big hassle for us, or should we expect the reports to print as consistently as they do in VFP?
