trouble printing fields

hello all,

I am trying to print a card in Livecode 7.0. I don't know why, the right part of each field is truncated.

So I tried in a new stack with only one field: I have the same problem.
The result is the same using print card in the File menu, or in script using print card, print field.
I tried "Format for printing" in stack property without change.
Attached files: img1 is the original card,

the original card
img2 is the printed one.

the printed card
I tried to print to PDFcreator with the same result.

Anyone has an idea of the problem ?

My conf: Windows 7 with a network canon MG5250 printer, printing works fine witrh other applications.

Thanks for your help,
Thierry

Hi Thierry,

Did you have a look at page setup? You can use the command

Code: Select all

answer page setup
There are also quite a few propeties, such as printMargins, printPaperRectangle, PrintPaperOrientation, printPaperSize etc. Just searcht for "print" in the dictionary and start reading. The current value of these properties might shed some light on what is going on.

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your message.
The problem occurs regardless the print properties.
Each line of fields is half printed.

I found yesterday evening the problem did not occur in version 6.6.2.

According to Livecode Qualty control, it's a bug of the 7.0 and a fix has been made - it will be integrated in the next release.

Have a nice day,

Best regards
Thierry
