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



SYMPTOMS
Horizontal or vertical lines are missing from a document printed on a printer that prints 600 dots per inch (dpi).



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you print from Microsoft Access to a 600 dpi printer using a printer driver that does not support the DRAWPATTERNRECT escape. When this occurs, Microsoft Access may miscalculate the number of pixels needed to print a solid line.



RESOLUTION
Change the printer resolution from 600 dpi to 300 dpi.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access version 2.0. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 7.0.



Steps to Reproduce Problem
NOTE: This example assumes that you are printing to a 600 dpi printer.


 * 1) Start Microsoft Access and open the sample database NWIND.MDB.
 * 2) Preview the Catalog report.
 * 3) Print the first page. Note that several vertical lines are missing from the printed page.
