To all,
I wanted to share Sandy's observations with all of the Reflector.
His observations show how each printer will react differently to
the SAME Report.

 Hi Joe and Bill
 I don't know if this will shed any light on the subject but here's what
I found - for what it's worth.
 Both tests using the same computer but changing my DEFAULT PRINTER in
Control Panel.
 Running Win XP Home.
 My DELL 920A printed 40 lines. The Preview says 40 of 40 and 
shows 40
lines.
 My Hewlett Packard 842C printed 38 lines. Preview says 40 of 40 but
shows 38 lines.
 Changed DEFAULT back to the DELL and it went back to the 40 lines
again.
 My driver for the HP printer came from HP's CD that came with the
printer so it should be the
 correct driver. Strange!!
