We have  been running Paradox 11 on Windows 7 for awhile. We have bought new Windows 10 pc‘s and are going through the configuration process.

We have a Konica C658 printer. We are running into an issue where Paradox will not pick up the default printer preferences. For example, in the printer driver we have set

Paper size = 14.5 x 11

Orientation = Portrait

Print Type = 1-Sided

Staple = Left Corner

But when you print from Paradox, for example instead of Print Type = 1-Sided, we are getting 2-Sided.

I know I can set some of these settings via code(I don‘t believe I can set it to staple). But I‘d rather not go back and change this on every form where I print reports.

Has anyone run into issues with Paradox not picking up the printer preferences that are set on the printer driver?

Oall other apps, such as the Microsoft Office apps, work fine.

Thanks,

Gary

same printer, same paradox, different win?

that's a very specific printer and issue.. odds are you're not gonna find anyone else with that specific issue.. have you double-checked the driver? maybe there's a different one for win7, and you use it

Yes, 

Same printer, same printer driver, same version of Paradox. We are just moving to Windows 10.

Also, all other apps, such as the Microsoft Office apps, work correctly.

are you using anything else from the Corel Suite, besides Paradox? what version of the Suite did Paradox come from? Paradox itself is gonna be the same, but the external stuff the Suite loaded might be different

I have had some similar issues.

Paper size and orientation.   Those were solved by opening the report.rsl file and resetting the printer/layout preferences inside the report

There are some bugs in the various Printer methods in Paradox,  specifically PrinterSetCurrent(PrinterName)

Also I have had issues with some newer driver default setups.  At times I have been able to  create a LOCAL PORT (pointing to the network device) on the machine and that would fix it.


Normally,  for me, closing Paradox,  Setting the default settings via control panel,  then opening the paradox would give me a temporary work-around.
