Hi Steve:

I agree with your client that there is some value in multi-part forms for Pick Slips.

For the first time in years, I modified an Adagio OE specification file to print to a dot matrix printer this week. I had forgotten the pain!

• I found that I had problems if I used the correct driver for the printer (hard to position & slow to print)
• I created a new Windows printer and used the "Generic/Text Printer" driver rather than the driver that matches the printer.
• Changed to a Courier font
• There will be a lot of testing. Unlike with a laser printer, It would be best to test with their printer.
• Remember WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)? This won't be like that. You'll need to place fields in places that look wrong on-screen, but print correctly.
• For that reason, you really need to see the results when they come out of the printer, which pretty much means being on-site.
• It will take longer than you think. Anticipate some cursing and swearing!
