Hello,
I've created a Document which i want to print using the PrintDocument class.
In the document i draw some strings, and lines. When I PrintPreviewing my
document (using the PrintPreview class) everything is ok, excatly as i draw
it. but when i'm sending it to the printer, some of the strings and lines are
setping out of the page's border. Why is that? doesn't print preview suppose
to preview the exact printing? is it fixable?
Thanks,

Gidi,
Well, ultimately, no, it won't. Ideally, yes, it would be, but in the
end, you are "printing" on two different mediums, with different
resolutions, different capabilities. This is why there is probably a bit of
overhead.
Are you checking the bounds of the page in the print preview? You
should scale appropriately and then print the preview that way.
Hope this helps.

As Nicholas pointed out, every target device that you print to has
slightly different qualities. This means that if you print the same
thing to multiple printers, or to print preview and then to some
printers, it's quite possible that the output will vary slightly.
The only away around this that I've ever heard of came from the guys at
Business Objects (aka Crystal) who revealed to me why their Crystal.NET
product (and, I assume, their other versions) does such weird and
annoying things with the printer's DEVMODE structure: it grabs all of
the attributes from the printer you indicate when you're designing the
report, and then attempts to set exactly those attributes (exactly that
DEVMODE contents) on the final output printer. Of course, if the
printer on which you designed the form and the final output printer are
different models (or, God forbid, different brands), the result can be
bizarre behaviour indeed.
I asked them why they did weird crap like that, when it causes us
nothing but grief, and they claimed that it was because they wanted to
guarantee that the designed report would be identical to the final
output. In effect, they wanted to get around the effect that you saw.
Unfortunately, their solution introduces all sorts of limitations,
including practically requiring you to design your report on the same
brand and model of printer as you're going to use in production
(assuming that all of your production printers are the same, or that
you even know what the production printer will be).
In other words, it appears that the alternative to slight differences
between what you see and what you get can be even worse than the
problem itself. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I'm helping on a web site, and it's got our knickers in a knot. We're

The site is here: http://askdrray.kabis.net (temporary location)
The site is being worked on, and only the front page works right now.

I would like to send the Print Preview of a MS Access form to a

A snapshot of a report is possible. If I could I would use a report to

an OLE graph on a report (or programatically change any properties of
an OLE Graph).

Thinking that this may have something to do with the Print
