SYMPTOMS
The Generic/Text Only printer driver versions 3.0 and 3.1 does not print or preview the Works for Windows Spreadsheet or Database list view, or Database report correctly. When you print, the ninth line of text prints over the eighth line, and Works will then overprint every eleventh line until a page break occurs.



WORKAROUND
To print these documents with this driver, copy the information into the Word Processor and print from there. To copy from the Spreadsheet and Database list view, use the Copy command from the Edit menu. To copy from the Database report, use the Copy Report Output command from the Edit menu.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.0 and 3.1 of the Generic/Text Only printer driver. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
