Group, I have had some similar issues in the past. I believe it is a memory problem when printing multiple reports. The first few come out fine then the dreaded "black box". It didn't matter whether there was several reports printed one after another or a few here and there, if the R:Session was still active, after 5 reports or so the black box appeared. I do not know if the memory doesn't release or what, but I have a temporary fix.
Solution: I talked to John and he suggested changing my logo, picture, etc to a GIF file. This resolved the issue for me at least. GIF files are less detailed but much lower in KB. Robert M.

If you are having difficulty getting an image to print correctly on the printer, try setting this property to True.

It may only happen once or twice per month and I have never been able to find the cause. I just checked and direct draw was not “checked” but it is now. I sure hope that resolves the problem. What does direct draw do ?

Then the image prints fine.

I have an image on a report. Ocassionally this image will print as a dark blotch. So there may be 35 pages that print fine, 2 with a dark spot, 15 fine, 3 with dark spot, etc. This image has the following properties; Center MaintainAspectRatio Stretch Any ideas appreciated. Jan
