I have several CRs, three of which are portrait and 1 which is landscape.

 

With the landscape report, I set up the report to print in landscape and in the viewer it works ok.

 

If I print to a local laser (through parallel port, Epson 5700) it prints ok.

 

If I print to a colour laser that is on the network, the report is printed in landscape but the right side is truncated as if it was printing in portrait mode .

 

I am using A4 paper size.

 

I have tried various things but nothing seems to fix it.  I suspect that it might be PrinterSettings that need changing.

 

Has anyone else had this problem and is there an easy fix.

 

If I export to PDF, that works great in Landscape and I can print that, but I would like to print direct.

 

I am printing via my own print button. The only reason for doing this is so I can display a status form that says printing has started and then finished.

 

If there were events exposed for the inbuilt CrystalReportViewer print button I would not need to do this. Has anyone found how to trap events for when Crystal Reports starts and completes  printing. The lack of events for this function makes Crystal Reports much less of a product that I was expecting for what is touted as the 'Premier' reporting tool.

 

I bought the Crystal Reports book for .NET Programming and its a little hard to bring Vs2003 into line with VS2005. Is there a VS2005 version coming out soon?

Is the new book that has been advertised been done for the stand alone crytsal reports or is it intended for developers as well?
