Printing problem in Income Statement report

[Scumbuster]

Well, finally getting back to this -

So I generated a report using the Income Statement....

Try to print it and my printer just gives me the "complete" tone (HP all in
one).

I can print fine from other apps.

Any ideas?

Thanks all

Sorry, my mail client put this message into the middle of the thread, so I
didn't see it right away.

Selecting accounts gets tricky sometimes.  The select children button only
works for children that would be visible when you scroll up or down the list
as you are currently viewing it.  At the top of the accounts window there is
a selector for Account display depth.  You may need to set that to a higher
number to work with your chart of accounts before hitting select children.
For the Cash flow report this selects the accounts that I would call your
wallet.  Then the report shows 'comes in from' and 'goes out to' for your
selected wallet.  For the default, the report chooses the accounts listed at
the top of the report.  If you spend from credit cards, for example, you
would need to add those credit cards to the selected accounts.

I hope this helps.
