Printing problem

[Bruce De Benedictis]

Then I guess you are printing the Data Sheet, rather than a form you have
made. There is no form preference available for the Data Sheet.

What build number of Panorama 5.5 are you running? It will be listed if you
choose About Panorama... from the Panorama menu. There were some problems
like this with earlier versions.

I can assure you that this is not normal behavior. Perhaps there were some
problems with your Panorama installation. You might download it again and
reinstall, a fairly painless process. There are also a lot of problems with
Leopard's printing, which people have written about in Apple's support
forums. Many of them are associated with third-party applications, usually
some sort of system enhancement which has not been updated.
