03-12-2008, 17:13 billbobs Joined on 01-18-2008 Posts 5 Print alignment problem There is a problem printing accounts receivable statements from our point of sale application to ePrint 5 Workstation.  The printed text does not correctly align with what I would call the statement “background grid”.  On each line the text begins at the proper place at the left hand side of the page, but it extends off of the page to the right, sort of as if the text font is a few point sizes too large.  This effect can be seen on screen in ePrint 5 Workstation, and prints to the printer as seen on screen.  If I change the ePrint 5 Workstation driver to that of our Samsung and “Print directly to the printer”, the statements print correctly, but then I do not get them into ePrint 5 Workstation.   I hope I have not missed something simple.  Thanks      Report

This does not happen if printed directly from the application to the printer.    Report

Try to set the Printer margins emulation to a different printer, such as your Samsung printer. To do that right-click on the ePrint printer that you are using and select Printing Preferences. In the Paper tab, select the Samsung printer from the "Emulate Printer" droplist.   2. Try to change the ePrint printer resolution to a higher value. This could solve the problem if it's caused by rounding errors when calculating the output positions.    Report

As with my previous margin problem, I do not think that I would have ever thought of the correct solution on my own.  Thanks again.    Report
