Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.



SYMPTOMS
When you print a query using the Windows Generic Text Only printer driver (TTY.DRV), the print overlaps on every sixth or seventh line.



RESOLUTION
The TTY.DRV driver can print only six lines per inch. You must set the row height to 12 to make the line spacing work correctly with this printer driver. To change the row height, choose Row Height from the Format menu and type &quot;12&quot; (without the quotation marks). This allows the TTY.DRV to print your query without overlapping text.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Open a query.
 * 2) From the File menu, choose Print Setup.
 * 3) Select the Specific Printer option button, and select Generic Text Only from the list of printers. (This driver must be installed on your computer for this to option to appear.) Choose the OK button.
 * 4) From the Query menu, choose Run.
 * 5) From the File menu, choose Print, and then choose the OK button. Note that approximately every sixth line of print overlaps.
