I posted a longer example of this issue earlier, but no one responded ( "Printing Disaster on Windows") This looks like a Windows issue? Here's the "symptoms" with a tad more info...from one of my beta testers

=======
on printTranscript

[snip]

# load main transcript
  put fld "Transcript" after tPrintTranscript

# print
  revShowPrintdialog, true,true
  revPrintText tPrintTranscript
end printTranscript

tested on Mac OSX with great results.. and feeling confident, released this to a few users...

 I have tested the printing from a PC. The results are quite strange.

1. The first page prints beautifully
2. Subsequent pages are a mess.
This is the same whether I print from pages 1 - 6 , or print in reverse. The first page (i.e. page #1 of the transcript) is printed nicely, and pages #2 - 6 are a mess.


I had a look at the PS it produces, but it has been so long since I read Postscript that I could not find the error.

 This is what appears on pages 2 - 6

• Some text is missing - from the end of page 1 until a couple of pages from the end of the transcript.
• The last 5 pages print the same material.
• The text is heavily overprinted.  Each paragraph remains separate, but the whole paragraph is overprinted. What should be a paragraph of about 10 lines is reduced to 3 overprinted lines. 19 lines are reduced to 5 overprinted lines. And so forth.
Hope this helps.


PS. When I use a Post Script Viewer, the PS looks just fine, and actually I can print the file OK from the post script. So something is possibly happening within the Transcriber software to cause the problems.

Any insights? do I have to include some externals with the windows app to get printing to work right on PC's?

I see this from time to time, but not consistently. What OS are you developing in?

I printed a script but the the characters printed on top of each other. How can I correct this?
Thanks.
