Legal Paper mixup ?? using R&R8.1
Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2002 11:59 am
When I send my app to my user and he runs it, he gets my report going to his ^Legal Tray^ on his HP 6p printer. He says: "Why did you send this report to the legal paper tray ?? Always before in R&R for DOS the reports printed properly (on 8-1/2x11 paper) to the proper tray ?" I said: "I didn^t send it to your legal tray !". He says: "Well your ^old^ reports always printed properly. Now with this Windows R&R, they go to my legal tray !"____ Those were his comments and my replies.____ What I *had* been doing was setting RI_WPTR to "Default" and sending my app package to him. Now, I^ve changed my RI_PRINTER to "?" and RI_WPTR to "?", and every time he runs a report he has to choose his printer. Now *that* annoys him !! Arrrgggg !!____ I had him go into Printer properties, and he (&I) get a bit confused about his trays and paper source, etc, etc.____ If I went back to simply putting "Default" in RI_WPTR, what would *he* have to do to get a simple report quickly printing out on his letter tray ?? (Also, some of his other people with (unknown) printers will also get this app.)______ BTW, I develop my simple reports on my HP Deskjet 697C using only normal stuff (underlining, bolding, etc) but changing some fonts sizes in Arial.____ I really want to make report printing for my user to be as simple and as fast as in R&R DOS 6.0a____Thanks,____-Mel Smith__
