Lost features when moved from RB 7.04 to RB 11.06

rbuser

When I moved from Delphi 5 and RB 7.04 Enterprise to Delphi 2007 RB
11.06 Professional the printer lost some features.

Example:
2-Up printing and Watermarks don't work.
2-Sided works fine.

I'm using the printer: Sharp ARP 450. I've tried Brother MFC 8860DM,
with no success.

Thanks in advance

Hi Ailton,

I'm a bit unclear about the features you are missing. When you say "2-up"
printing, do you mean two pages printed side-by-side? If so, this was never
a feature of ReportBuilder. Also, how are you creating a watermark on your
report? Are you doing so using the PageStyle band or manually like in the
following article?

Hi Nico,

You are right. My question isn't clear. I'll try to reformulate it

2-Up printing and Watermarks don't work.

Both aren't RB features.
They are included, manually, by the user, using the Printer's driver

The user (just before print), pressed the Advanced Button at Printer's
drive and select this features

When the system is compiled using RB 7.04, both features work fine.

When them system is compiled using RB 11.06, the report isn't send to
the printer.

Would the new RB implemented some parameters that control this kind of
action?

Hi Ailton,

Thanks for the clarification. My first suggestion would be to upgrade to RB
11.08. This may have been a bug in 11.06 that we fixed. Contact
info@digital-metaphors.com with your serial number and purchasing email
address for upgrade instructions.

Going forward hope you will be upgrading to RB 12, which includes many
powerful new features.

Here is a link to What's New for RB 12. (Use the side menu to navigate to
more detail).

Hi Nico,

I followed your suggestion and installed RB 11.08. Unfortunately it
still doesn't worked out

Do you have any additional suggestion?

Thanks in advance
