*PRINT tool ID on Menu

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We put this tool ID on our main menu in hopes of providing some sort of print screen to the users local printer. We use a MDI environment. I am on-site today with a client who is on 2.5.3c (not Version 7 yet).

When we click this item off of the menu, we do get the active window (less the title bar) to print on the default windows printer for the users who did this.

The results on the printer are somewhat garbled. I have tried several HP laser printers here and get the same results. We have used the same font on our labels as in our grids, so I don't understand this.

I'll post the images of the screen and the printed page when I get back to the office. 

I'll also test this on Version 7.0 when I leave this site.

I guess I am asking what the *print tries to mimic or executes in windows.
