printing on IE

Post by gurjit »

Hi,


I have many franchisee's who use IE as there browser to print "letters" and addresses on "Avery 7162 labels".

The problem I have is that the default margin settings for different versions of windows are different.

The letters print properly but the labels dont. So if you change the default settings for the margins on page setup in IE, then the labels print ok and the letters dont.

What can I do????? Is there anything in the code I can do?????

If you want consistant results when printing, your best option is to generate a pdf document, and set it to auto print.
Browsers are highly unreliable for printing formats, as you've mention, but pdf documents are, IMO, the most consistant way to print.
