Printing oddity

I have a form which prints at 52% via :

Set print option(Scale option;52)

This prints correctly on my printer (Xerox Docuprint n2125), previous 
printers used in this lab (HP laserjet 4000, Docuprint n2125) and on 2 
of its current printers (Xerox Phaser 4500, and IBM 15??).  All of 
these are black n White laser printers

 - BUT -

the Xerox Phaser 8560 (solid ink color) which was recently installed 
does not seem to respect this setting -
any ideas??

THanks

No - (I forgot to specify)

4D 2003.8r2, Win 2k, C/S
printing via direct IP, PCL driver -- postscript driver was screwy

<http://www.4d.fr/documentation/4Ddoc2003/CMU/CMU00785.HTM>
"Note: The PRINT OPTION VALUES command only operates with PostScript  
printers."

In comparison to PS, PCL is a poor langage, not only with
4D:

Sorry for my poor understanding: what means "screwy"?

I cant remember exactly what the source was, but when printing using 
the postscript driver, we got pages of raw postscript

Re: Printing oddity

Chip,

IMH that setting only works with PostScript drivers. I guess you have  
a PCL driver for the Xerox. Try to find a PS driver.
