I'm trying to print out a ladder file using RSLogix 500 v 6.00.00 (running on XP Pro) and a Brother HL-1440 laser printer. When I print the ladder with the Brother printer properties set for 600 dpi resolution (normal setting), all the text (in both the ladder file and the header/footer) print out normal size and darkness, but the instruction symbols, branches, and other lines are so faint that they're almost too light to see them. When I reduce the printer resolution to 300 dpi, the symbols, lines and ladder text print out normal size and darkness, but the header and footer print out in a huge font size, the letters being almost a quarter inch tall! The Brother printer is not out of toner and I've never seen this kind of thing when printing with any other application. When I send the printout to a pdf converter (PDF995) first, then print it on the Brother, I get the same results EXCEPT that the header/footer is so SMALL and light that they can't be read. (They show up small and light in the adobe reader view also.) When printing directly to a borrowed HP laserjet, the ladder seems to print out just fine. Does this sound like a printer driver problem or a bug in RSL? Is there some place in RSL to set the font and size for the header/footer? Finally, how can I disable printing of the header/footer?
