Old VFP5 prints negative images, just on one workstation 1

[TheTaskMan]

I have a client with an old VFP 5.0 application.

It accepts a .bmp image into a general field.

It uses the generic VFP report writer to print those graphics on a form.

All their workstations print the graphics fine, except one - which "flips it over" or as a "negative image" - in other words, the black portion is white, and the white portion is black.

They have tried changing print drivers, and also printing to a different printer.

Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks in Advance,

Keith,

Did this workstation used to print the graphic properly?

Do graphics get printed as negatives from other applications?

If so, then it would seem they have changed something on the computer.


Hope that helps,

Stewart

Hi, Stewart -

I appreciate your answer.

They do not know if the station printed the graphic okay before, because they were not accessing this application from this station before.

I checked, and no, - other applications print the graphics normally.

If I figure out what is going on, I will be sure to make a note of it, here. (Question still open.)

Thanks,
Keith

Try converting one of the image to bmp and then print the bmp image.

Try reinstalling vfp libraries. May be the report write image control has a problem.

If you view the report on screen, does it show reversed(Nagative) ?
