Save it to a text file and then print it. You will need to work with the formatting.
Dot matrix printers print REALLY slow with windows fonts because they print it graphically. Dan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Fred Antrobus Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 4:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Printing problem I have moved a client using RB 6.1 for dos in a dos box to using RB 6.5++ for windows. They have one report that is printed to a Okidata 395 onto 14" wide carridge green bar. The report is between 250 and 350 pages for each run. To Generate this report to file it take 3-5 minutes. Spooling it directly to the printer now take 2-3 hours, and then printing is another 2-3 hours. It was taking 1-2 hours total to print under the dos version under windows. I have tried doing the: OUT filename PRINT report OUT screen Out Printer type filename OUT screen The printer is using proportional fonts even though I have manually set it UTILITY/DRAFT mode. I have also changed the fonts to Courier so that it could use mono spaced fonts All I want to do is dump data to paper as fast as possible, I am not real particular on the font or print quality. Speed is more import. Anybody have Ideas??
