URGENT HELP. SQR error.

[Srinivasan S <srinivasan.seetharaman@DB.COM>]

Hi Helen,
     Thankx a lot for the info. My declare printer looks like this :

 declare-printer  test        ! Declare printer characteristics.

    for-reports=(pot_type)
        type=HPLASERJET       ! Types are POSTSCRIPT, HPLASERJET,
        INIT-STRING=
'<27>E<27>(0N<27>&l0O<27>&l8D<27>&l88F<27>(s16.66H<27>&a9L<27>&k2G'
        font=5
        point-size=9
        SYMBOL-SET=12U
 end-declare

And i had given the escape sequences in the INIT-STRING argument coz, they
were there in the include file 'setup01.sqc' assigned to variable
PRINTER-INIT.

But even then i'm getting the error.

Please help ME.

TIA,

Srini.








Srini,
What kind of printer are you using and do you use postscript? If you are
using a HP printer I would set the type to HP.
In the DECLARE-PRINTER sections I see that you are using for-report =
(pot_type)
and (land_type). Are you using the DECLARE-REPORT for these two report
types?
For example
            DECLARE-REPORT employee-listing
              layout = pot
              printer-type = HP
            END-DECLARE

I don't think the for-reports = ALL is necessary in the DECLARE-PRINTER
section
since you declare the report on the next line.
What is the init string doing. It says in my manual that the init-string is
mostly used with lineprinters. Can I maybe download a font for images using
init-
string?

Hope some of this helps you.

Helen
