4.00 729 Printing upside down text

[ZekeZee]

I purchased and installed build 727 in late April and it printed the diagrams upside down with the text such that you had to hold the page to the light and read it from the back, through the paper.

I just installed  build 729 and have run into a similar or same problem.   The print preview screen display of the text is fine.  When I print it on my laser printer, I must turn the page upsided down and read through the paper, to view the text correctly.  

The release notes for 729 led me to believe the problem had been fixed.    What to I need to do to get the text to print correctly?  Thanks in advice for your help.

This is a problem with almost all the software produced in the southern hemisphere.

Try inserting the paper in the printer the other way up.  If that doesn't work, check that the printer cable isn't twisted through 360 degrees.  Finally, try turning the printer upside down and around so it faces the wall.



Forgive me - I've had a bad day.


Seriously, the upside down print - I believe - was in the LINUX environment only.  Is that your environment?  If not I would check your printer setup thoroughly.

  I also asume this is a printer problem. What happens when doing copy paste or print to a pdf printer (there should be a trial version available from Adobe)?

I am off on vacation for a week and will comeback ready to figure this out.   I am running Windows XP on an HP 532n and using a Brother HL-1440.  It is pretty plain vanilla stuff.
I saw that this was a problem other people were having with build 727, so I upgraded to 729 and it seems to do the same thing.  Is there some way to create a print file I could send you?

We have a similar Problem with our Brother HL 1470N in our office. But I don't know if we have this Problem with EA.

Try to make some changes in your print processor.

Go to the Printer-Settings and choose the "Advanced" tab page. There should be a button "Printprocessor...".

In this dialog you can choose "WinPrint" and set it to "RAW" (may be it depents on your printer).

In our case this solved the problem.
