I'm developing a university business office forms database using Omnis 5-
this is my first real database development project, and I'm having problems
getting the darned thing to print for me when I want it to.  The basic idea
is that I allow a user to type in a bunch of info on something that looks
like one of the standard multi-part forms they've been using in the past,
and then have the info printed out onto one of those forms using an Epson
24-pin printer.
The problem is that Omnis 5 seems to be a bit flaky in its report printing
section. I've managed to get it to create screen previews of printouts that
are close to what I want, but it balks on sending this stuff to the printer.
The frustrating thing about this is that i *can* get it to print out reports
from deep within the bowels of the design area...
Without going into too much more gory detail, does anyone out there have any
experience with similar projects, or with Omnis 5 in particular?

Oh yes, call me foolhardy, but I've been using 7.0b4 and then 7.0f2 for most
of the development, but switching to 6.0.5 for the parts which directly
involve printing, since the driver i've got for the Epson dies a horrible 
death under 7.0.

thanksinadvance!!
