Crystal Report Page Layout Problem [* Resolved *]

[nazeem_khan]

I am designing a Internet Cafe System that will generate the new login /pass for each new customers. I am using crystal reports 8.5 to design the report. Now the problem is that i use the report layout exactly for my printer( i dont know the name..but it is used to print small info..like ATM printing does..) but if i run the same report in another printer, the layout is not correct. Is there any way to design a report to print it in any printer without affecting the layout???

Thanks in advance.

The following is from Crystal Help

Inconsistencies due to printer drivers
When printing, inconsistencies may occur if different printer drivers are used to create and print your reports. These inconsistencies are a result of the various methods that individual printer drivers use to measure text metrics such as font size. When printed, text-based objects may be misaligned, truncated, or overprint each other. Examples of text-based objects include string or character fields, text objects, memo fields, numeric fields, and formula fields.


I have an rtf file that describes printer dependencies and how to overcome them. I have zipped it but it is still too big, if you want it email me and I will send it to you.

Not sure if this will help but worth a try.
