Graphics printing

[Greg Wills]

Hi All

I am still attempting to resolve this printing problem.

Jacqueline, thanks for your suggestion that it could be a graphics 
driver problem. This doesn't appear to be the issue, but it did put me 
onto another path - didn't go anywhere though!

I now suspect that it might be a printer memory problem. (The Lexmark - 
that doesn't print the background graphic has 4mb of memory. I have 
located a Minolta printer (on the same system network) that has 16mb - 
and it all prints OK.

I have today been trying a different tack. If I take a screenshot, then 
I do get an image just as the user sees it ( the Minolta did some funny 
things with the text in a text field - that I was going to pursue 
another day - but this may kill two birds with the one stone - so to 
speak). The thought was that printing a screenshot might require less 
grunt for the printer to push out all the graphics data.

However I am having difficulty finding a way to print only the image 
that is created by the screenshot (a portion of the card). I can only 
see how to print cards, fields, reports. I would appreciate any 
guidance. Thanks

cheers

Greg
