Printer problems

[Alejandra Parra]

In my code, I print a dataSet

' get grid's PrintDocument object
Dim pd As System.Drawing. Printing.PrintD ocument
pd = flexgrid.PrintP arameters.Print Document()
' set up the page (landscape, 1.5" left margin)
With pd.DefaultPageS ettings
..Landscape = False
..Margins.Left = 50
Dim a As New Printing.PaperS ize("Carta", 850, 1100)
..PaperSize = a
End With
' set up header and footer fonts
flexgrid.PrintP arameters.Heade rFont = New Font("Tahoma", 10, FontStyle.Bold)
flexgrid.PrintP arameters.Foote rFont = New Font("Tahoma", 10,
FontStyle.Regul ar)
' preview the grid
flexgrid.PrintG rid("Calificaci ones",
C1.Win.C1FlexGr id.PrintGridFla gs.FitToPageWid th +
C1.Win.C1FlexGr id.PrintGridFla gs.ShowPreviewD ialog, _
Now.ToString("d d/MM/yyyy") + vbCrLf + Now.ToString("H H:mm:ss") _
+ Chr(9) + ObtieneInformac ion("escuela") + vbCrLf + "Calificaci ones Periodo
" & ObtieneInformac ion("periodo") _

sMateria.Replac e(" ", "").Replace("|" , " ") _

Chr(9) + Chr(9) + _
"Profesor: " & ObtieneInformac ion("profesor") + vbCrLf + vbCrLf + vbCrLf +
"Firma: _______________ _______________ ___")

It works fine, but when printing in a certain printer it prints just strange
characters
I can use this printer from any application in Windows and it works fine
I've already tried to install the printer drivers, but it is still printing
wrong
What can I do?

Is the printer that prints garbage an HP Laserjet or other postscript
printer?

If it is, then this might help: Open up the machine's Printer Advanced
Options for that printer and look to the settings for TrueType fonts, if
it's set to "Substitute with Device Font" and gives you the option to
"Download as Softfont" then pick the download option and give it a try.

The link below shows a a graphic of the HP options ...

Does this printer print anything else strange, like a web page, regular text
document, or is it just your print jobs that are coming out strange?
