ACC: Print Overlaps Printing an MS Access Query Using TTY.DRV (93726)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access 1.0

Microsoft Access 2.0

This article was previously published under Q93726

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 "12" (without the quotation marks). This allows the TTY.DRV to print your query without overlapping text.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Open a query.
From the File menu, choose Print Setup.
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.
From the Query menu, choose Run.
From the File menu, choose Print, and then choose the OK button. Note that approximately every sixth line of print overlaps.
