RE: Impresisn_de_Quick-Report

Hi everybody:

First, I would like to say that I forgot that this e-mail list was in
english. So please, forgive me.

Tom:

I appreciate your efforts for solving our problems. Thank you very much.

You got the idea. The report is in landscape mode, the first problem is that
the HP520 prints the right side of the page first, while the HP840 prints
the left side first.
Being DeskJet printers, the last part of the page must have a margin of at
least 16mm. So if you set the Left margin at 16mm and the right at 5mm (We
need to print a large number of columns) it is OK for one printer and bad
for the other and viceversa.

Is there any way to obtain or set the print direction of the page?

Thank you.

Pablo.
