I'm getting some weird and frustrating results when printing on Windows XP. I have a report that collects data and places it into two fields on a card in a printing stack. The two fields are next to each other, both are the length of the printing stack, and they simulate a 2-column printout. On screen it looks fine. The printing stack has its formatForPrinting set to true.

My script fills both fields, prints the card, prints a break, then repeats until the data is gone.

Depending partly on the font I use and partly on something I can't imagine, printouts are scrambled. Sometimes only one word prints per line, which makes Windows think a 7 page printout is about 1200 pages. Other times only hex gibberish is printed. Other times, the bottom third of the page is left empty and then a blank page prints instead after every printed one (i.e., two-thirds of page 1 prints, the a blank sheet, then two-thirds of page 2 prints, then a blank sheet, etc.)

We have tried different printer drivers with various results, but none of them are entirely correct.

This is making me crazy. Does anyone have suggestions? I know I could probably format the pages in html and print from a web browser but we don't want to.
