ACC: Printing Microsoft Access Reports on HP Laserjet II

• Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0

SUMMARY

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

When you print to a Hewlett-Packard Laserjet II, you must set the Print TrueType As Graphics option in Print Setup. This is necessary because mixing TrueType (TT) fonts and graphical objects on the HP Laserjet printer can cause inconsistent results (that is, not true WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). To set the option, click Print Setup on the File menu. Click the Options button. Then select the box in the bottom left corner, Print True Type As Graphics.

MORE INFORMATION

Before setting the print option, you might see the following problems when printing Microsoft Access reports on a Hewlett-Packard Laserjet II:

• Microsoft Access displays white text on a black line in the report preview, but it prints a solid black line.



• Microsoft Access begins to print reports containing lines (graphics) with the text aligned correctly, but subsequently prints the line and then prints the text shifted to the far right.
