crystal report help needed urgently

[swapnil_with_u]

Hi, everyone

Can anybody pls help me in finding a solution for doing DOS printing through crystal report !!

My problem is my report has to get printed on a dot matrix printer and on a contineous stationary. and printing in windows based form is strictly not allowed.

I tried exporting the report in text format and printing. But the problem here is all the data exported gets compressed too much i.e. the space in 2 columns gets reduced too much and sometimes some data also gets deleted.crystal report preview is totally fine. Also I want to use Different pitch settings in the same report. I have seen that the lines dont get exported in text file. so i am confused what to do and how to do

Can anybody help me out fast.

Thanks
