<QUOTE>
Using different printers causes me trouble with headers and footers.

However the same code produces the same result with OI4.13.

However the Textcolumns appear the same, no matter what printer.

What have I done wrong ?



OIPI_TEST:

 * Default printer=Generic/Text, display Ok

 *                =HP_laserjet 2100, header in middle of page,footer ok,  oipi_printerheader, line 279 debug

 *                =Ricoh Aficio cl 7000   , header in middle of the page, no footer, oipi_printerheader, line 279 debug

 *                =Kyocera Mita FX 1800   , no header, no footer,  oipi_printerheader, line 279 debug

 *                =All"                  , Textcol prints ok



 margin=1:@FM:1:@FM:1:@FM:1:@fm:@fm:@fm:9	;* A4 inches

 device=2 										;* Preview

 pageinfo=0:@fm:1									;* inches

	

 set=Set_Printer("INIT",name,'',margin,pageinfo,device)

 header=@VM: "Main Header 'D'":@VM: "Page 'P'"

 footer=This is the main Footer Page 'P' File=F'"



 colLen=2,2,2"

 colHeader=Col1,Col2,Col3"

 colText=111,222,333/aaa,bbb,ccc/AAA,BBB,CCC"



* Convert delimiters

 convert "," to @fm in colLen ; convert "," to @vm in colHeader

 convert "," to @vm in colText ; convert "/" to @fm in colText

 

* Set header and column information



 set=Set_Printer("HEADER", header, colLen, colHeader)

 sta=Set_Printer("FOOTER", footer,"") ;* Set footer

 set=Set_Printer("TEXTCOL", colText) ; * Print column text

 set=Set_Printer("TERM") ;* End printing

<QUOTE>To make myself clear. The printouts are all the same when the code is run with OI4.13, no matter what printer I choose.

With OI7.01, the results are as described and the column header is not shown.

<QUOTE>Certain European printers use commas instead of periods to display decimals. If you are in the UTF8 mode the oipi header routines assmumes this and converts the decimals to commas before sending the paramter to the vsprinter ocx. If the UTF8 mode is on and the printer does not use the commas then the header routine has problems. Is this the case here?

<QUOTE>Thanks Bob

Turning on the UTF8 helps and if I only use one column in the header it looks allright on different printers. Still I get the debug from the OIPI_PRINTHERHEAD routine. Any considerations regarding Fonts and size in this case ?
