Episode 66 Windows 7 TMG-CPRS Printing Truncation.

The problem: Printing a note using TMG-[[CPRS~|CPRS]] formatted text truncates
the first few characters of every line when printing from  Windows 7.

The fix: Widen the left margin default for the IE sub-system. Do this
by: Ctrl-Right Clicking in the Note area of TMG-[[CPRS~|CPRS]]-->Print
Preview-->Settings(Gear icon)-->Set the left margin to something wider
like 0.5.  This setting persists across windows and VistA logins.

Why? TMG-[[CPRS~|CPRS]] relies on the Internet Explorer sub-system for printing
of html rendered notes. Default margins for this appear to be set to
0.196 by default in Windows 7. This is very narrow for the printers we
use: HP/Toshiba. So narrow in fact that the printer truncates the
first few characters of each note.
