Printing in LC 7.0.3

[Paul Hibbert]

Terry (and List Users),

This bug is reported now:

http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14814

There is a sample stack attached to the report if anybody wishes to do further testing and add comments or observations.

From the tests I tried (after several suggestions from list members in this thread), I found the quotes made no difference, however, the [into pageRect] part of the print command does seem to be where the problem lies.

Removing the [into pageRect] part allows the defined area to print, then as a partial workaround, you can set the printMargins to determine where on the page the image prints, but, unfortunately you do lose the ability to print a defined area of the card into a different size area on print, effectively scaling the printed result.
