Printed report not matching layout view

[StefanSch]

FACTS


I designed a report that looks great in layout preview on the screen.

The report includes text boxes. The text boxes have borderlines (black / hairline). The borderlines are clearly visible in the layout view of the report. Furthermore, the report has rows with alternate colors which was done with the following VBA code:

Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Const Grey = 16777215
Const White = 12632256
Me.Detail.BackColor = IIf(Me.Detail.BackColor = White, Grey, White)
End Sub

All in all, I am happy with the style of the report when I look at it on the PC screen.


PROBLEM:


Unfortunately, when I print the report, the following is not printed correctly (not matching with layout view of the report):

- the borderlines are not printed.
- the text/numbers in the text boxes are surrounded by a white area. This is not the case in the layout view of the report
- there are different fonts. However, all text boxes should have the same font


Do you know what causes this problem? Any idea how to resolve it?

Make sure you have the correct, up to date driver for your printer.

If this doesn't help, I don't know!
