Lotus Customer Support Technote: 1111265
SPR# YTOA5GPE8T - Print-preview will match the actual printed output. For this fix, the Notes.ini variable “PrinterPixelPreview=1” must be used on the client. This regression was introduced in 6.0.
Hi,
We have problems with printing. Since the new version (6.5.1), we run into major problems with the printout that differs from what’s on the screen(Alignment, justify, etc).
On the screen, we have similar display for the text in 5.0.12 or in 6.5.1. If you try to preview the same document, you’ll have different display on the screen if you are in 5.0.12 than 6.5.1.
(Looks like this technote: Print Preview of Multi-page Document in Notes 6.x Client Differs from Printout No: 1111265)
So when you try to print the document with a uidoc.print it’s incorrect on paper with 6.5.1. If you try with the File Print menu, you have the exact problem with 6.5.1. In 5.0.12 , it’s perfect.
In both cases, i’m using an HP LaserJet 4100. We have the same scenario with HP 4000, HP 4050, HP 4060.
If we go on a Lexmark printer, the problem is almost the same. The printout and print Preview are incorrect with 6.5.1.
Another issue: In some situation, documents are partially printed with UNIDRV from Microsoft. Only the header is there and the rest of the page is blank.
