What I am getting from "CUPS-PDF" is that u saying to include its package in "WLS form builder"& make the format of Parameter form(Which would call Report) as "RP2RR0DESFORMAT-CUPS-PDF" which in turn to give PDF format and that should be compatible with dot matrix printer?

But the question rises is that we already did Parameter Form format as RP2RR0DESFORMAT- PDF/HTML ,the output is coming authentically as view but after giving print command on dot matrix printer its completely altered such as in font, sizes and alignment.

So Mladen,would u like to share me the proper alternatives to curb it.Earlier in Oracle 6i Report the font was "COURIER NEW" but in WEB LOGIC SERVER(FORM BUILDER i.e parameter form)it is "FIXED" is there any problem here? What do you think I should do?
