Truncated Printed Text

[Kevtor]

Hi

I populated a text field using:

on mouseUp
put "Ribbon Thickness: " && fld "ribbonThickness" &return&\
"Top Roller: " && fld "topStep" &return&\
"Middle Roller: " && fld "middleStep" &return&\
"Inking Gap: " && fld "inkingGap" &return&\
"Metering Gap: " && fld "meterGap" &return&\
"Compression: " && fld "compression"&&"%" &return&\
"Speed: " && fld "speed" &return&\
"Pressure Right: " && fld "pressureRight" &return&\
"Pressure Left: " && fld "pressureLeft" into fld "result"
put fld "result" into fld "print" of card "print"
end mouseUp

And get:

Ribbon Thickness: 5.1
Top Roller: 126
Middle Roller: 70
Inking Gap: 3.9
Metering Gap: 1.4
Compression: 24.3 %
Speed: 90
Pressure Right: 80
Pressure Left: 85

When I try to print I get:

Ribbon Thic
Top Roll
Middle Ro
Inking G
Metering
Compressio
Speed
Pressure
Pressure

I've tried using revPrintText. revPrintField and put a field on a new card then used the print command to print the card.

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Update.

It prints to PDF and then prints to paper properly.

I'm stumped.

Someone in another forum in 2010 suggested using the message box as a test.
I entered revPrintText "Hello World abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" and it printed out Hello World abcdefg still truncated.
This person said that if it didn't print correctly its a RunRev problem.
I have reinstalled, uninstalled, downloaded again and installed and the problem persists.
Before I report this as a bug can anyone see what I might be doing wrong?
The same problem accured on my work computer so it isn't my home computer.
I am using version 7.0 build 10018 community version if someone wants to try to duplicate my problem.

Does your script set any printmargins or paper size? It sounds like right margin is too wide. Does it change any of the default printer settings at all?

Hi Jacque,

I don't set any print parameters.
When The Print Dialogue appears I have set the margins to Zero then the text is just moved to the top left corner of the paper and is still truncated.
I can copy the text to the clipboard and send to email ok.

It sounds like it's time for a bug report then.

So, I created an account with the Quality Control Center and then did a search and found that this is a known issue and has been fixed in version 7.02 RC 2.
I'm such a noob that I spent hours beating my head against the wall with this and not knowing to go the the Quality Control Center.
It was inconceivable that I could find a bug.
Now I need to try and find the download for 7.01 C2.
Heheh.

Thanks for the help.

Try "Check for updates" in the LiveCode Help menu. I think RC 3 is the latest. Glad you found the problem, if I'd been thinking I would have checked the bug database myself. So you're ahead of me.

As A final update, I downloaded 7.0.1 rc3 and it solved my printing problem.
Hooray! I'm not as lame as I was thinking.
