WINDOWS

Summary:

SYMPTOMS

When using the Microsoft QuickC for Windows Graphical Development

Environment (QC/Win) version 1.0 to print a file, text may be

printed beyond the bottom margin causing some text lines to be

lost. This problem has been reported while using various printer

drivers.

RESOLUTION

An updated printer driver may be the solution to this problem.

Please call the manufacturer of the printer and request an updated

printer driver for Windows.

Another workaround is to load the file into another editor (for

example, Notepad or Write) and print from that program.

The last possible solution is to add blank lines in the text where

pages would occur.
