That's good to know, Peter. Thanks!
What is odd is that the data is not all that odd...just a few small
fields of less than 50 characters, 8.5 x 11" page, 12 point type. I've
looked through the data that would have been printed if the print job
had not failed and there's just nothing there (like large memo fields of
text or graphics) that would cause this error to be thrown.
And what makes it extra frustrating is that you can exit and restart the
application and the second print attempt will run perfectly, as it should.

I have a VFP9 app that has developed a new and intermittent printing
error problem.
When printing a report, I randomly get a
"Detail 1 band is too large to fit on page"
error when running one particular report. Thinking it was just a
problem with the report spreading out into the left/right margins as
the error suggests, I reworked the report and now have 3/4" blank
space on each side, using nothing but Arial typeface. No change in
the problem, the error keeps coming up randomly. When the error
happens, there is no output, no paper, nothing sent to the printer.
This error is not left/right margins but suggests the band is too
tall. I have had then when developing a report using my default
printer but then try it on another printer and find I have to shorten
the detail band to avoid the error. Must be different margin sizes on
printers.
As Tracy suggested we have also had the problem when printing to a
label printer. We use a Zebra labels printer which uses a landscape
layout, but if you set it to portrait you will get this error.
