That bug already has my 5 votes. Sorry, bugzilla won't let me give it more (believe me, I tried). Also, that bug does not correctly address this issue.
I can't really use revPrintField as my layout is a highly complex multipage layout which needs somewhat precise positioning, including "tables" and images.
For now, I filed this as bug #2492 (and voted for it). I guess I'll have to work on other parts of the project until this is resolved.
And here we were shooting for a February release. Not if this isn't resolved by then. It's a real show-stopper.
Oh, and let's not vent too harshly at Rev for this -- even though Rev could definitely be improved in this area, it seems to me that Windows is primarily at fault here. Using different font metrics from screen to printer is downright stupid. Anything to make our lives more difficult...
Anyone know if it's possible to trick Windows into using the screen metrics when printing? That would be a nice trick. How about a new global property in Rev called "alwaysPrintWithScreenMetricsDespiteSillyOperatingSystemConventions" (or a shorter version thereof).

Sorry to say , I think the whole printing lib needs to be enhanced. I definitely think that every body should give there full vote for it .

when it comes to business applications with out these enhancements you are dead........
besides that , its a shame , RR a tool with every thing to it, capable , easy and so on should lack a main feature and an important one like this, especially with many competition out there

Okay, I finally got around to trying this, but it doesn't work. I followed these steps as closely as I possibly could, but I still get strange printouts from Windows (XP is bad, 2000 is pathetic), and OS X printouts still look great.
The biggest issue (perhaps the only one left) with XP printing is that text at the right edge of a field does not print. In other words, the field is x units wide, Rev allows the line of text to be x+y units wide, and the extra y pixels get cut off instead of wrapped. The field is multiline and other lines below that one do exist.
In W2K (the real manifestation of what some people thought Y2K would be ... though an overall improvement over its predecessors, I think), the printouts show extra blank lines in the middle of a field, some lines wrap prematurely after a word or two, and so forth.
Oh, and I just recently figured out the problem with the "Preparing" stack: it was topLevel, and hidden behind my modal dialog (which was a sheet in OS X, so not a problem there...) Oops! Fixed by displaying it as a palette.

Hi Frank,
The thing with formatForPrinting is that you shouldn't change the content of the stack after setting this property to true, or the formatting will be off. So the best option is to set the data,; next you set formatForPrinting false and then back to true ; next you save the stack, close and reopen it ; and then print it. As for your 'preparing' stack not showing up : is it possible you're running that part of the script inside a lock/unlock screen pair ?
