Printing problem

Suggestions:

Try to "zap print set up" under the Wizards menu>>> Utilities sub- 
menu.  Then re-do the page set up for this form.

Try using the "print this record tool" on the bottom of the tool  
palate, far left side of the form (looks like a small printer icon)  
see if it will just print the single file/record, of the form.
Try selecting only on or two records to print from (not hundreds/ 
thousands of the whole data ) this will make the spinning wheel spin  
a long time.
Do a procedure that works for me when the forms occasionally become  
corrupt "somehow".
Change the form in question to "graphic Mode" (use the protractor  
tool in the top left corner of the tool pallet) then under the Edit  
menu>>>copy form, then....>>>>paste form, name it something different  
like...  "your form name2", do page setup then try printing from this  
New copied form. If the New form prints, the old form was  
corrupt...... If then this form is involved in a procedure then just  
delete the old form and use the re-name form tool to re-name the new  
form the old form name then your procedures with work when procedures  
call this form to print.

If this printer is working from other applications (but not from  
Panorama) then I would try.... Printing from a one page from the data  
sheet, or from a different form then if that doesn't help, then
Try creating a simple sample printing on this printer from Panorama  
by making a new from, make it a small form with a small data tile  
with less than your standard margins in the regular old form you are  
trying to print from with just a few fields to print out on the data  
tile.  Then do the page setup and see if that will print.

As to you "can not find any Form Editing View", problem below here:  
On your form you are trying to print from: In the top left corner of  
the editing tools palate, is a protractor tool clicking on, it  
changes the form to "graphic design mode" (sorry, not form editing  
view, but this could be called that) from the "data access mode":  
When in graphic mode the "setup" menu changes to allow more  
preferences to be accessed, Bruce is referring to these! check out  
these preferences, they may help?

It confuses me that you say that the form you are printing from only  
has a close circle and the tab arrow (Tab Direction) switch tool....  
that is usually (the Tab Direction tool) not seen on a form but only  
on the data sheet, are you trying to print the data sheet?? and not a  
form??

We are here to try to help, keep with us, sorry for the frustration.
