Printing from RDLC report to Dot Matrix Printer

Question

Hi,

I am trying to print a RDLC report to a dot matrix printer using Generic/Text only printer driver in windows xp. But the problem is that, I am not getting the proper output as I am able to see in the preview of the report. In the print preview the report the output is perfect. But when I print to the printer, some of the fields are shrinked and not displayed completely. When I increase the width of the column in the table, its printing only some columns as it does not fit. So I hope someone can help me to sort out this issue.

Try to redirect printer output to file and look this file in a text editor. As you can see what is actually sent to the printer. This may give some new ideas.
