Re: [DUG] Printing to HP2300

[Alister Christie]

I use to have lots of printer problems with QuickReports.  I've given up 
using their print engine and have been converting each page to a 
metafile and printing that.  This finally came about because the same 
problem you described (always printing from tray 1, no matter the 
setting).  It does not surprise me that Borland have moved away from 
Quick Reports in favour of Rave, but I'm stuck as I have 1000+ reports 
designed for Quick Reports (I use QRDesign http://www.thsd.de - which I 
think is great value for money).

Being the curious soul that I am, are there many people still using 
Quick Reports + Addons?  Do you have any of your sanity left?

Just some feedback on this question from a month ago and thanks 
to those who responded with suggestions.

It turned out that my app had the Printer Tray set to First in every 
single one of my reports.
I don't know why it was set to First, and I have no recollection of 
ever setting it thus - maybe that was the default in D3??

When I set it to Auto, the problem went away.

BUT this is the first time in 5 + years in around 30 sites that a 
printer has complained about the Tray being set to First.

(Just goes to show - thers a First time for everything!)

Are you sure its not something like the printer driver defaults to
letter, whereas the printer tray is A4?
I have that problem with OKI printers, and have to press recover to
get it to print if I forget to change the paper source to A4 from
letter.

Subject: [DUG] Printing to HP2300
Hi All

I have a site where my app has been running fine for a couple of
years.
They have just installed a new printer HP2300 and now my app will not
print correctly to this printer.
The HP2300 is set as the default printer for the workstation but to
get the report to print from my app they have to go to the printer and
press the page feed button.
They have downloaded the latest drivers, with no improvement.

Anybody have any ideas?

Mark
