PASSTHROUGH objects are not positioned correctly on the printed page in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, and in Windows 2000 (891368)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Web Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional
- Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
SYMPTOMSConsider the following scenario:
- On a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows 2000, you use the PScript5.dll
printer driver to print to a PostScript printer that supports duplex
printing.
- You try to print a document as a booklet.
- The document includes one or more PASSTHROUGH
objects.
In this scenario, the PASSTHROUGH objects are not positioned
correctly on the printed page. CAUSEThis problem occurs because one of the following conditions is true:
- The PScript5.dll driver file does not control page
ordering.
- The print processor does not support PASSTHROUGH
objects.
Under these conditions, the print processor controls page
ordering when you print the document. Therefore, when you print the document as
a booklet, the print processor shrinks or rotates the document so that one
printed sheet includes two pages of the document. However, when the document
includes a PASSTHROUGH object, the print processor does not adjust the
coordinates of the PostScript drawing instructions. WORKAROUNDTo
work around this problem, use a different printer driver when you print
documents that contain PASSTHROUGH objects as booklets. For example, use the Unidrv.dll printer driver. You can install the Unidrv.dll printer driver by using the installation CD for your operating system. Additionally, contact the manufacturer of your printer to obtain an updated printer driver.
