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, set the option Print TrueType As Graphics 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). To set the option, choose Print Setup from the File menu. Choose the Options button. Then choose the box in the bottom left hand 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.
