Print Preview isn't printing everything on report

edited September 2004 in Devices
The Print Preview is correct but my report is missing information when it
prints. The information that is missing are simple labels that aren't
reference in the code anywhere(no possible overlays). The only event on the
report builder component is the print preview. I would appreciate any
suggestions. This problem has just suddenly appeared at a customer site. The
code hasn't changed. I checked special events in the RP component and the
only thing is Print Preview (which doesn't have any unusual coding

    1. As a test try commenting out all event-handler code that is associated
    with the report. Make sure that you do not have any code that manipulates
    the dataset in any manner while the report is generating.

    2. Try downloading the latest printer driver from the manufacturer's web
    site. Uninstall the existing driver. Reboot the machine and then install the
    new driver.

    3. Check the application for memory/resource leaks using an appropriate
    tool.

    4. I do not think this was an issue with RB 6.x. However, you should also
    try downloading a trial version of RB 7.x and perform the same test. RB 7.x
    contains hundreds of internal improvements - including additional code to
    work around bugs in printer drivers. Backup your existing installation and
    reports prior to installing RB 7.x.

    I ran in to the same problem - all of a sudden parts of my reports were
    missing from the printed output, even though they showed up on the print
    preview window,

    Rebooting the print server solved the problem.
