I'm running Sql-Ledger-2.8.24 on Slackware-12.2. I cannot print a complete Trial Balance, or other report that extends beyond one page. The latest manual I purchased is for version 2.6.x, but I saw nothing in there on how to print reports. I use ctrl-p to print the display to a file, but get only the first page. What might I be doing wrong? Rich -- Richard B.

If page length is wrong I have seen a few printers that simply
discard the rest of the job.
Thanks,
Michael

Michael, I think that I found the solution: after selecting Print to File and naming the file, I look on the other print dialog box tab, "Options." There I select the radio button for the selected frame, and uncheck the box to ignore scaling and shrink to fit page width. This produced a 2-page PostScript file easily converted using ps2pdf.

Hi Rich If it's a .pdf file you want to end up with try this: From the three drop down menus on the bottom select "invoice", ".pdf" and then select "screen" as your printer. When you print you'll get a pop up box that asks you where you want to save it, you can rename it at the same time. One note: I'm still running an old 2.6.22 version and if the invoice hasn't been printed before and doesn't have an invoice number the first time you hit print the screen just refreshes with an invoice number (no print) hitting print a second time will result in the popup. I was going to figure out why but it's not that big of a deal for me and may already have been solved since 2.6.22.

Jeff, I do this from transaction screens. However, there are no options at the bottom of the report pages. Please note that I'm not printing invoices but the trial balance and balance sheet reports. These display nicely on screen but do not have options to do any printing. Ctrl-p brings up the print dialog box in firefox, and I apparently need to do more than specify 'print to file' to have the entire report. Rich -- Richard B.

Hi Rich Right, I should have read the original post more thoroughly instead of replying off a reply. :-[ I installed CUPS-PDF for those reports, It shows up as a printer in the drop down menu when I use ctl-p and drops the file as a .pdf on my desktop (or where ever you want it) Jeff Rich Shepard wrote: > On Mon, 8 Jun 2009, Jeff Roberts wrote: > > >> If it's a .pdf file you want to end up with try this: >> From the three drop down menus on the bottom select "invoice", ".pdf" >> and then select "screen" as your printer. >> > > Jeff, > > I do this from transaction screens.

Richard, It sounds like you're using the "File/Print" menu selection via a shortcut keystroke. This is the browser's print function rather than SQL Ledger's. With a little configuration, you can use SQL Ledger to print to a variety of destinations, such as a physical printer or a PDF. With this, you'll have more control over output layout if desired.

Hi Rich, I'm not near my system at the moment to give the details. As I recall, for printer support you need a print spooler destination configured. For pdf, you need something like LaTex to help translate the output, plus maybe another utility. I don't think the configuration has changed that much that you should be able to use your 2.6 manual to work through the configuration. I think it's in the front part of the manual on setting up the system. If you're having trouble locating it, reply back and we can help look it up.

If it helps, an easy workaround for this that we've found is to copy/
paste the content of the report frame into a spreadsheet.
Thanks,
Michael

Where do I configure, and what should be specified? I see no
print options
on the display when reports from that menu are selected.
Thanks,
Rich
