I hope you guys can help. I have an issue with an application I have written. The application is writtin VS2008 in VB code. I have used the printform from powerpack 1 in the application. The issue i have is that the application works fine on evry machine i have installed it on so far and the print function works fine apart from one machine. On this machine the print is always blank. the machine in question prints fine from any other application just this one i have built. I have tried everything i can think the machine has all updates installed and the latest drivers are installed.

Any help at all would be good

I have sorted this problem out now! The issue was caused by a mismatch in display settings. due to the user have a much bigger screen rsolution the form i wanted to print would not fit on the page. Therefore i had to ensure it fit by using a cobination of maximise and ensure the focus was on the form.

Hey there!

I am not sure how to handle this one for ya...

One thing the comes to mind is the workstating being used, is it also a PC, do you know if there were any printer driver issues, or whether its driver needs updating.

You might also want to try the Windows area of our forums to see what you can gather there.

Sorry for your troubles!
