[GNC] Printing invoices and statements, Spanish language version stylesheets

[rmomxtx at gmail.com]

We are running GunCash 4.6 on a Windows 10 computer in Spanish. We print
invoices and statements two-up on the same page so the customer has a copy
and we have a copy for file saving an extra page of print. Simple invoices
and statements, they fit well on one page this way. We are a school so the
only products we sell are tuition, inscription and materials. 

 

Printing two-up on our Epson L4150 inkjet printer worked great on the stable
GunCash version 2 series. When we updated to 3.11 invoices and statements
print out as desired but always kicks out a second blank page. Updating to
version 4.6 didn’t fix the problem. It acts like there are extra returns (¶)
that go beyond the margins of the letter size paper (8.5x11) so the printer
kicks out a second page that is blank. 

 

We are in Mexico and use US letter size paper. Much of the rest of Latin
America uses A4, a bit longer. I’m wondering if GunCash in Spanish assumes
A4. I don’t find anyplace in GnuCash to indicate that the page should be
8.5x11, not A4. The printer is set up to print on 8.5x11.

 

I researched customizing style sheets but have not figured out how to fix
this problem. The default stylesheet prints very small two-up on one page.
There is a CSS-based style sheet (experimental) that looks much better but
still spits out a second page that is blank. 

 

Has anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions about how to adjust
the default stylesheet to attempt a fix and to make the default print out
like the CSS-based experimental style? Is there a way to make the CSS-based
stylesheet the default?

 

Thanks,
