Yeah.... mostly. It now prints Landscape on the first page. However the
top margin on the first page is about an half an inch off meaning that
the top half inch is missing (printed above the paper). All of the
other pages print OK. I can at least write a band-aid for this in my
program. If I get a chance I'll file a bug report on this behavior too.<br>

PS: I did file a bug report on this "landscape" problem.<br>

Asunto: [Lazarus] Landscape printing problem

OK, I've brought this up here before and was told this
wasn't a Lazarus
problem. I half way believe that. Half way because it
appears to be an
incompatibility between Lazarus and something else.
My problem is quite simple. I wrote a report that uses the
"printers"
unit for output. I use TPrintDialog.execute to setup the
printer and
then use printers.printer() to get a TPrinter object that I
then use to
render my report. I'm printing this report landscape,
which is where my
problem comes in. The first page is always portrait and
every page there
after is landscape.
The first thing I do is set the TPrinter's orientation
property to
poLandscape. It should always be landscape. The weird thing
is this
works on an old SuSE 9.0 install I keep around because its
the only
thing that will run this report properly. I've tried it
on two other
current versions of Linux: Debian 4.0 and Ubuntu 8.04. Both
of these
exhibit the problem. I'm using the exact same compiled
binary on all
distributions.
My build environment is using FPC 2.2.0 and Lazarus 0.9.25
from SVN, an
older version downloaded sometime around January 2008.
I'm running on
Intel 32bit Linux on all the systems that I tried. Here are
hopefully
relevant software versions for the three distros I've
tried it on:
Distro GS CUPS HPIJS Works?
Ubuntu 8.04 Artifex GPL 8.61 1.3.7 2.8.2
Debian 4 ESP 815.03 1.2.7 2.6.10
SuSE 9.0 ESP 7.07 1.1.19 2.1.4 Y
I've listed HPIJS because that is the print driver I
need to support my
HP Business Inkjet 1200. In the SuSE version I built the
HPIJS myself.
The other two I'm using what came with the distro.
This is making me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.
THX - Jon
