OIPI display problem (OIPI.Net)

Hi,
for some time now we noticed a problem with OIPI.net reports, but only when run on a Windows 2019 server. If from TCL I call a simple list containing a text-justified field, word wrap is done correctly but 1-2mm at the right of the column are lost (i.e. wildly truncated). If I call exactly the same list on any windows 10 or 11 workstation, display is fine. Any hints? We are running OI v. 9.4.

Do the workstations and server have the same default printer?

Yes, the workstations and the servers have "Microsoft Print to PDF" set as default printer.

Any other hints? Please know that we have exactly the same problem on all Windows 2019 servers, while we have no problems on Windows 10 or 11 workstations. As our staff connects to the database via Citrix sessions, this is actually very annoying and makes tabular reports unusable.

Have you tried a standard printer driver, one that is not the PDF driver?

Yes, unfortunately I have the same result. I looks as if the last 10px on the right border of the affected column become hidden.

Just an update - I actually found a workaround to the problem described. When I call the Run_Report procedure, I now add FONT "ARIAL,R,10,0" to the statement in the second variable. Since the Arial font is proportionally spaced, hence usually narrower, instead of the fixed spacing of Courier, that does the trick.

Thanks for reporting back Stefano - nice to have a workaround.
