Rich Text problem with dot matrix printers

Hello,
About a week ago we upgrade to the ReportBuilder 20 Build 255 and since then we have problems with rich text and dot matrix printers. You can see the problem at attached image. Every font in the report is the same, when you look report in computer it is fine, when you print it in printer ( not dot matrix ) it is also ok but when it comes to dot matrix printers print looks like attached image.

    Hi Ömer,

    If you revert back to RB 19, does the report print properly?

    The image you posted does not display. We do not permit uploading images to our server. It is best to use a cloud drive to do so and then add it using the image button in the toolbar. Or feel free to send us any screen shots via email to support@digital-metaphors.com.


    Best Regards,

  • Hi... I think the problem he's trying to solve is to send a raw text stream to the printer rather than having Windows process it (kinda like doing a dir > LPT1: in DOS). Printing out plain text using the printer's built in fonts is going to be MUCH faster than anything Windows will come up with.

    If that's the case, then search MSDN for "send data directly to printer" or "send raw data to printer".
