Bad margin in page dialog

2006-03-16 02:08

When

 

exporter.setParameter(JRPrintServiceExporterParameter.DISPLAY_PRINT_DIALOG, Boolean.TRUE);

exporter.exportReport();

 

if landscape, the printer dialog shows an erroneous left margin, taking value 88.62 when probably it would show 8.62 ???

 

I am working with HP Laserjet 4050 series PCL driver and Windows XP

 

Some idea?

 

Thanks

No,is a tabular report in landscape page, with subreport inside in landscape too.

I take it that your are using JRPrintServiceExporter and setting the orientation request attribute to landscape yourself.

 

JRPrintServiceExporter has been changed on CVS to automatically set the orientation print attribute based on the report orientation. This involved also changing the printable area size for landscape reports. I suspect that this is the cause of the wrong print margin in your case. Take a look at JRPrintServiceExporter.java rev 1.26 from CVS.
