1807.0. "Print settings not stored with document" by KAOFS::D_STREET () Wed Nov 18 1992 17:08

    Hello,
     I have a client with V2.3 of ALL-IN-1, who does the following:
    
    	wp, p, <next screen>, pl, set top margin, <cr>, ss, 0, p
    
     Which enters Word Processing, goes to print, sets top margin, saves
    settings in area zero, and prints the file.
    
     The problem is, that when he goes to print the same document, the top
    margin is not what he set it to, and to make it that way, he has to
    re-change it, or restore settings saved in zero.
    
     Should it not maintain the settings, or use the ones saved in zero?

	Are you saying that only the WPS-PLUS top margin setting is not being saved, or that all the WPS-PLUS print settings are not being saved? Two possible reasons for WPS-PLUS Print Settings not being saved are: 1. A non WPS-PLUS document is being formatted with the WPS-PLUS formatter. For example, a document has a handling of STANDARD ASCII which means it's an ASCII document which is WPS-PLUS formatted. Since an ASCII file is incapable of storing WPS-PLUS Print Settings they are not saved. 2. You are printing a message or document which is in the shared area. Since the user does not have write access to the file it is not possible to store the WPS-PLUS print settings. The user is allowed to change the WPS-PLUS print settings during a print operation but they are not saved. The saved zero Print settings are used when WPS-PLUS creates a new document. They are not the default Print settings used by the WPS-PLUS formatter. Richard

Are you saying that only the WPS-PLUS top margin setting is not being
saved, or that all the WPS-PLUS print settings are not being saved? 

Two possible reasons for WPS-PLUS Print Settings not being saved are:

1.  A non WPS-PLUS document is being formatted with the WPS-PLUS formatter. 
    For example, a document has a handling of STANDARD ASCII which means 
    it's an ASCII document which is WPS-PLUS formatted.  Since an ASCII 
    file is incapable of storing WPS-PLUS Print Settings they are not 
    saved.

2.  You are printing a message or document which is in the shared area.  
    Since the user does not have write access to the file it is not 
    possible to store the WPS-PLUS print settings.  The user is allowed to 
    change the WPS-PLUS print settings during a print operation but they 
    are not saved.


The saved zero Print settings are used when WPS-PLUS creates a new
document.  They are not the default Print settings used by the WPS-PLUS 
formatter.
