printer problems

[Archibeque]

We've been using FM fora few years now just recently upgraded to 5.0. Everything has been working fine. Bought a new HP 2100 in September and towards the end of October started having this problem.

In one particular layout the text box doesn't print completely. It cuts out portions of sentences, partially completed letters.

I've tried different print drivers, upgraded to Millenium from 2000 and back still didn't work even reinstalled FM5.0. Still nothing.

Anybody hear of anything like this?

All the time. First, be sure that you're running either 5.0v3 or 5.5v1 as they had a number of fixes. Many HP drivers are incompatible with various versions of FMP. You **may** have to roll back to an HP 4 driver. And, BTW, a switch FROm 2000 To Millemmium is a backwards roll, not a forward one.
