Hello!
I have some formatted text in a field. If I print it on a Mac, it’s perfect. If I print it on a windows computer (Win 7 or 10), I get VERY strange results. I have tried multiple computers with multiple printers. All with the same results. I get these large black bars. And on some printers half the entire page is black! Any thoughts or experiences with this?
This is the HTMLText I am trying to print.

I have the stack set to the standard letter paper size (612x792).
The field has magins of 36, and is set to the same rect as the stack
Then I do this:
set the printMargins to 0,0,0,0
print this card
I’ve also tried this with the exact same results:
revPrintField the name of field "theField"
Anyone with some thoughts?
Thank you in advance,
-Dan
