Re: Printing Problems

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Oh, and as a second thought: I have a background image on each card over which 
my text is overlaid, so no "drawing" graphics.

Re: Printing Problems

Hi Jim,

Some consolation. I have an "exact" same situation and it works fine, so I 
haven't a clue as to what your problem may be. What kind of Printer are you 
using? I'm using an Epson 1270, and have the user set all the parameters with 
the Page Setup dialog. Just call Print Card and Print marked cards in some 
instances. If you have any other questions about this, contact me directly.

HTH,

Joe Lewis Wilkins

Have you tried printing just the gif image?  Is it possible that the 
original image source is too big for the print buffer?  Are you spooling 
the printer output?  You didn't mention the OS and that might help solve 
the problem.


You might also try and see if you can print everything BUT the image.

Hi All,
I'm having some major problems with printing. All I want to do is print a
single card. It's not a big, elaborate deal. There is a gif image that
covers the entire card and there are numerous fields and some checkbox
buttons that lie on the gif. It seems like there is a limit to the number of
object that can be printed from a card. Is this true? So I began removing
objects one-by-one to find the limit. But that didn't turn up anything that
fixed the problem. However, when I reached a certain number of objects all I
got was a blank page off the printer. If I set format for printing to true I
have even more problems. The script I'm using is below. I would appreciate
any help. This is the last piece of a six month project tat I really need to
finish up.

Thanks
Tom

  Hello all, 
 
I have an app that produces labels from a Dymo label printer. These 
labels include a barcode which I calculate and display using a barcode 
font, then they get printed. This works perfectly on one computer. 
Then I tried running it on another computer and every time I try to 
print I get an error saying "can't end last page". Then the app gets 
stuck on a dialog that has a cancel button which achieves nothing. I 
have to quit the app, which I can do normally (I don't have to force 
quit). 
 
Using the software that came with the printer, I can print perfectly, 
so the printer drivers and the printer are fine, it seems to be a Rev 
problem. Has anyone else encountered this error and if so, do you know 
of a workaround. 
 
On a related note, this app frequently needs to swap printers as it 
prints labels on the Dymo printer and reports on a laser printer. This 
is a real pain for the users as Rev has no way of storing & setting 
page setups or printer preferences. I have to ask them to do Page 
setup every time they print! If this is also a problem for you, 
please consider voting for Bug #1619 
 
 
Regards, 
Sarah

You did not indicate a platform, but if it is OSX, then Applescript may be
the way to go.
Check out
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2082.html

For example, the following script prints three copies of the second page of
a document to the printer "Prints Charming" after showing the Print dialog.

set theDoc to alias "Macintosh HD:ReadMe"
set printConfig to {copies:3, starting page:2, ending page:2,
target printer:"Prints Charming"}
print theDoc with properties printConfig with print dialog



Thanks very much for this Jim. It is only for OS X, so AppleScript
would be fine. I need to set the printer, the paper size and the
orientation for each different print task, so I'll check out this web
page and see what I can find.

Many thanks,
Sarah
