Greetings All, I have learned what little I know about Access out of the neccessity of problem solving so go ahead and assume you know way more than I do.
I have an Access database whose primary purpose is to import data and create mailing labels on a 12" fanfold format (1" high x 3.5" wide)(like Avery 4013). The report is a basic 1" report header added to leave a blank first label followed by details of 1" each. The reports worked perfectly with my old Epson LQ-850 but when I replaced it with an LQ-590 I began having problems with its minimum top and bottom margins of 0.166", even with tractor feed/continuous inputs. The result was a blank bottom label on each page. I worked around that by "fooling" the computer into thinking it was sending the report to the old LQ-850 which allowed 0" margins.
A recent upgrade to win7/access 2010 has me revisiting this problem.
The driver for the LQ-590 is "Inbox" - loaded with win7 and no software extras or upgrades were found.
Surely the most used database software can print to such a widely used continuous format paper using a very standard impact printer without a kludge? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
