(Answer) (Category) FAQ's - APPX Software, Inc. : (Category) APPX Utility : (Category) APPX Installation & Configuration : (Category) Printing :
Print files truncated
Customer has Laser and Matrix printers. Laser print fine, but matrix truncates Appx reports after 8" (20cm). Other applications print OK to the matrix printers.

This is probably a problem with the printer driver default truncating at 8". To get around this, put into 'Printer Options' for the printer in question: 

    -form_id="U.S. standard fanfold"
This should give either 132 characters across or 13.2" (33.5cm) wide reports.

(The above parameter was obtained from loading the DOS prompt in the data directory containing Winprint.exe, then typing "winprint". This gives you all possible Winprint parameters/switches.)

Is the 'mpage' program required to print text files from the 4.2.4 client?
Look for the following section in appx_print.  Remove or comment it out.
If you are doing client-side printing, appx_print will be in the client
install directory.  Otherwise, look for it in the $APPXPATH directory on
the server.

This is only for non-windows operating systems. Windows client and server
systems do not use mpage or appx_print.

# default format if one wasn't specified

if [ "$FORMAT" = "" ]
then
 FORMAT="MPAGE"

I just installed Appx 4.2.4 On SunOS 5.8 and have a problem with printing
I looked in my appx_print.last log and found an error:
/appx/appx424/data/appx_print: syntax error at line 632: `count=$' unexpected.

You need to modify your appx_print script and replace born shell (/bin/sh) with korn shell (/bin/ksh).
In addition, you might need to modify your filters found in $APPXPATH/filters/ASI: MPAGE, PCL and PDF.

What is the maximum size of a report?
A customer was running a "large" report to the screen, and got a C-Assert:

Module: RT.C.4903
Process: 0LA/Input - PRINT ON SCREEN
Bad Prt Write - Error - Already on File


When using a Form defined with a length of zero, the maximum size of a text report displayed on the screen is 65,535 lines. If the Form Length is not zero or the Form Type is PDF there is no limit.
