To confirm Javiers findings. My form prints nicely on my HP colorlaser (pcl-6), but all black on my HP B&W laser (pcl-5, I believe).

James: I had a utility that captured the printer name, set the printer to landscape, printed the screen and then returned the printer to the original orientation but I ran into the same problem you have. TTBOMK it has to
do
with the form background and the printer driver. It worked great on my color lasers but at my client location it printed OK on their B&W lasers but printed a big black square on their ink jets (uses a lot of ink...not very cool); I ended up creating a simple report that prints the record on
the
screen, more efficient less headaches. Javier,

I tried this trick but all i got was a big black square printed. What are the form requirements to get the form to print as it is on screen?

This is WAY too cool. Nice little routine. I did find one little glitch. I tested this on
a
form with some DB checkboxes checked. The whole form matched a screen print, with the exception of ONE checkbox check not printing, it just printed the box. I'll have to play with this to see what was
different
about that checkbox, I think it was the last thing I did on the form. In any event, what a great useful feature. BC

I think I saw something on this list a short time ago that described how you could print your form (or at least the data)
from a button eep with the help of some sort of property command.
Does anyone remember how to do this?
Bob,
Ask and you shall receive!
PROPERTY RBASE_FORM PRINT 'PRINTER' RETURN
Use that command as an embedded EEP for a button on the form.
For complete details:

Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
