vb printing problems

[rbeken]

I'm a little new to VB so excuse me if this is something basic. I am printing a report with lines boxes and pictures. now I have it working on a lexmark Optra R laser, but when I print it on a Lexmark K 1220 laser, it advances the text by one line vertically on a landscape printed page. It only prints the text out of alignment, not the boxes and lines. (I'm using Twips) I'm printing directly to the printer using a subroutine I created calling the printer.print.
Now I've narrowed this problem down to just the printer, but for background info, the app runs on a windows nt4 server running citrix metaframe clients, from which the program is executed as part of a larger application.

How do I get this to print the same on all laser printers.
isn't VB printing postscript?

here's my vb grprint subroutine that calls the printing of text.

thanks very much!!

rivate Sub grprint(pdata, CNum As Integer, RNum As Integer, TLen As Integer, TJustify As String)
Dim PStart As Integer
Dim TxtWidth As Integer
If IsNull(pdata) = True Then
Exit Sub
End If

If TxtWidth < 1 Then
TxtWidth = 1
End If
On Error Resume Next
TxtWidth = Printer.TextWidth(pdata)
On Error Resume Next
Select Case UCase(TJustify)
Case "R"
PStart = TLen - TxtWidth
Case "M"
PStart = (TLen / 2) - (TxtWidth / 2)
Case "L"
PStart = 0
End Select
MsgBox PStart
Printer.CurrentY = RNum + Pad
Printer.CurrentX = CNum + PStart
Printer.FontTransparent = True
Printer.Print PrintClipped(TLen, pdata)
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Good question! I have an application that uses Active Reports that requires a different template for each type of printer. I haven't taken the time to check out why.

i have similiar issues and believe it has
something to do with the printer drivers
installed.

i have changed drivers with some success, however,
the fonts are changed, size-wise;
lines and boxes seem unaffected...

puzzling...
