Problems printing in Access

Post by seabird »

Hi everyone,

On my Linux Mint I run a copy of MS Access 2007 for a single report options. This report was made many moons ago and always used to print on a A5 PDF on 2 pages. Now when I try the same report it cuts off at the wrong place and makes it 3 pages. I checked everywhere and tried to reduce the left and right margin but can't get it to work. They are stuck on 12.70mm (supposed to be around 5 or 6).

Should I be looking into the windows files? or the Linux ppd?

I have:
/etc/cups/ppd/PDF.ppd & /etc/cups/PDF.ppd.0

Code: Select all

*PageSize A5/A5: "<</PageSize[421 595]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*PageRegion A5/A5: "<</PageSize[421 595]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*ImageableArea A5/A5: "0 0 421 595"
*PaperDimension A5/A5: "421 595"
Can anybody help me, don't want to resize the report itself for bigger margins as this would be a lot of work!

Ok, troubleshooting a bit further into this problem I am looking into the .ppd files inside "windows":
/home/mine/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/spool/drivers/w32x86/3/Generic CUPS-PDF Printer.ppd
Here all of a sudden I find:

Code: Select all

*ImageableArea A5/A5:			"18 36 403 559"
I tried editing this file, but everytime it resets to this default. Meaning, the setting is read from another location.

Also, 3 files are found:

Code: Select all

/home/mine/.wine32/drive_c/windows/system32/spool/drivers/win40/0/Generic CUPS-PDF Printer.ppd
/home/mine/.wine32/drive_c/windows/system32/spool/drivers/x64/3/Generic CUPS-PDF Printer.ppd
/home/mine/.wine32/drive_c/windows/system32/spool/drivers/w32x86/3/Generic CUPS-PDF Printer.ppd
None of the .ppd files on my system have these "restrictions" set.
