Hi Piotr, I guess, you are doing what is described in the documentation for PAGE SETUP:
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv16/4D/16.4/PAGE-SETUP.301-3978038.en.html The idea of "AUTOMATIC SCALED PRINTING" ? Am I correct, that the goal is to print a list scaled in order to fit on a "standard" size (e.g. A4). If my assumptions are correct, then we are dealing with the problem "a piece of paper has limited size, screens have scroll bars". One solution is indeed to scale. But... as the doc for SET PRINT OPTION says: "Be careful, some printers do not allow you to modify the scale..." The other solution is to distribute the width of the columns of a report (e.g. a Listbox) relatively to the available width of the paper. The available width on paper depends on the printer (paper size, printable area) and print options (landscape vs. portrait). In my component, I have a method that does this kind of printing. The idea at the beginning was to have a generic way to print listboxes, but it could also be a 2D array: https://flury-software.ch/a-swiss-army-knife-for-4d/ Check out the method "Uty_PrintListBox" Disclaimer: this is not a magic solution. It's just an other try to print what can be endless on screen (scroll bars) to the limited size of paper.

Ok, I understand what you are saying, and in some cases I already use the SET PRINT OPTION command But when I want to print a report without interaction with the user, and I want to print it to a certain paper size, I can do two things I guess: [...] ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
