[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] hypercard report printing

ahlenius@cell.mot.COM (Mark Ahlenius) (01/16/90)

I posted a question last week about printing mailing labels
with hypercard using "Print Report" function of the file menu.
The problem I had was that the spacing betwext the 1st and 2nd
label on each new page was "hosed up", and the 4th line was
deleted from the 1st label.

I found the problem via a Hypertalk programming book, as a
tip.  I had to turn on "No gaps between pages" in the print
setup window.  This solved the problem.

There still seems to be no way to get away from the Geneva 9 pt.
font that apple sticks you with for report writing.
Perhaps Apple will fix this someday!

One additional problem that I had with printing labels is that
When it gets ready to print the 1st label, it does a newpage
command - so my imagewriter II scrolls up a whole page of
labels - virtually wasting them. This may not seem like a
big deal - but if you do a lot of them - it wastes a lot of
expensive labels.

Any hints?
