View Full Version : Text Driver Printing Problem

I am trying to route the output for a set of reports that I print to files, rather than printers. I'm using the Windows Generic Text driver. My reports that contain very long output strings are being truncated at 169 characters. It appears that this is a limitation of the driver.

Does anyone know if it is possible to output more than 169 characters per line with this driver, and if so, how?

Or, can anyone suggest a more robust generic text driver, if one exists?

Thanks for any helpful suggestions.

Advance search 'text driver' in your favorite search engine. Yahoo gives me over a million matches.

Yes, and it seems that I've investigated a million of them ;-(

But it still hasn't provided a solution to the problem.

I haven't found any that replace the Windows generic text driver allowing me to print beyond the 169 character limit.

FYI,

Looks like www.stg.com has the technology. Now I'm looking for a reseller that handles their product TextPrint.

Thanks,
