My other thought -- if the spooler/printer can't handle 1600 individual
print jobs, would it be able to handle a 1600-page single job better?
I could change the the program to do all my calculations first, then
have the report just break on the CustID. Printing to a file is not
an option because we need to retain formatting.
Karen,
I've had this issue with printers from different mfg's over the last couple of years, and it's been my experience that for a long print job, individual reports work MUCH better. If you loop the cursor, then output, print, output screen, loop, etc., I haven't had any problems.
It seems to be a Windows issue, but I can't say for sure. Mine has happened with Thermal Transfer printers, but it's been with ANY program printing to the printers, not just RBase.
Just my $.02 worth
