  Hi Forum,
  
  Environment:
  C#, Crystal Reports 2008, Model: embedded CrystalViewer / ReportDocument
  
  I have the following Problem:
  

  • I want to print to our NetworkPrinter or a local printer.
    Crystal seems not to use PageSettings from CrystalReports - but from somewhere else. Because the Printout at the paper is shifted a few cm in direction to the top and to the right.
    

  
  Facts (I tried already):
  

  • Printing the same Report with Crystal Designer or
  • Printout is ok.
    
  • Crystal Viewer from BusinessObjects.
    
  • Printout is ok.
  • If I print a Report to freePDF.
  • Printout is ok

  Workarounds (I know already):
  

  • In CrystalReports Designer: Set Pagesettings to 0 or at least a very low value and put the distance in the report itself.
  • Printout is ok.
    
  • In CrystalReports Designer:
    
  • Install Microsoft Document Image Writer (comes with Office) and safe the Report with that printer choosen.
  • At least in my Testenvironment, print the Report choose a real-life printer...
  • Looking at printerSettings in the Printer Option Dialog i recognize the paperformat is letter
  • The local Printer is set up for A4 format, so i go to the printer and ignore warning "please insert letter Paper into the printer"
  • Printout is ok.
    

  
  I also tried to overwrite the Margins of System.Drawings.Printing.PrinterSettings and PageSettings without Success.
  
  Does anyone else have some good idea?
  
  thx Sebastian
