Faxes are Stretched

I'm having this exact problem:


Anyone got a fix? Works great on XP. This and 30 others like it are
why I hate Vista. Who tested this POS?

 

Chose the right paper size, and uncheck "fit picture to frame" checkbox. To
get what you want you will probably have to crop and/or resize the pictures
before printing.

fit picture to frame is unchecked, paper size is correct. Works on XP
but not on Vista. Having to crop or resize every electronic fax is a
waste of time.

 

He makes such stories up. Not the first time. Nobody has any problems like
him with this stuff.

He just wants to make his hate for mankind visible and public.

It's irrelevant. He asked a question others might use, and as such is just a
tool of the community.

It is an "objective" viewpoint. I feel sorry for people who may take a bait
and play into his game. But as long as you are aware of it, that's fine.

I just want to add: he has shown historically to have grotesque, totally
unbelievable problems with Vista. And it is always with moaning, hand
writhing and grimacing on his fat butt.

And you usually historically have grotesque, totally unbelievable solutions
for people with problems with Vista.
I have never seen a fat butt moan, writhe and grimace but if anyone can make
it happen it would be you.
Have you found your copy of Office 2005 yet? We are waiting.

You are the only one here that thinks they are playing a game.

I checked. I checked everywhere, including the MS downloads for MSDN
subscribers. There is no such thing. I was wrong.

Nobody is perfect.

However, if you want to take as an excuse to degrade my other statements, it
won't work, trust me.

TRUST me it won't.

It was not a constructive statement related to how the system works. People
around here makes such statements by hundreds.

You are wrong. Even with this problem, most likely he is using a 3-rd party
software to send his faxes out. If he has a printer with a fax integrated
then this is it. What does Vista have to do with it?

He did not explain anything. He just splashed out his vomit. If he is using
the same driver he used in XP, that this is it.

He should upgrade the driver. He is an idiot on a mission. he wants us to
fall in line with him and say how terrible Vista is. He wants us to share in
his incredible experience of an ignorant as*shole.

Did you notice the difference between the posts by the people who really are
looking for a solution and the posts of this sick maniac who off hand makes
it clear that he does not expect to find a solution. He is in mourning. He
dreams of his XP. He wants it to come back into his life. What holds him
back? His own idiocy.

This is a real problem. Take fax out of the equation, it is a tif
file that just happens to be a fax. The problem is in printing. Vista
was installed clean, I checked HP's web site for newer Vista drivers
and installed them. Printer is a HP LaserJet 3200, a very common
printer.

Other M$ apps like Word print fine, Windows Photo Gallery just screws
up the printing of tif files under Vista, but not XP.

It is this kind of stupid crap that make Vista a POS.

Admitting you are wrong is important but if you recall, your posts around
the subject of Office 2005 were full of abuse and name calling against those
who tried to correct you.

Your other statements speak for themselves and show you to be someone who
knows little and makes a lot of noise or someone who knows some and can't
communicate clearly enough to make himself understood.
You are also making yourself known as a racist.

If you think you or your statements have any respect in this group you are
gravely mistaken.

This is a bug that has been present in WPG since the 4K betas. The work
around is to simply print the tiffs using another program.
This bug certainly does not make Vista a POS.

No, but 30 more "productivity wonders" just like it do.

Care to list them?
Or would you rather just keep whining?

It would appear that the image viewers and print drivers are not takeing
into account the resolution of the fax. the standard resolution on most
fax machines is 200x100 dpi. the only solution I have is to strecth/skew
the image and reduce the width by 50%. If there is a better solution I
would love to hear about it. My client imports the tiff into a medical
EMR database and this problem is very inconvient for them. When they
recieve faxes sent in fine resloution 200x200 everything is fine. Please
help

This one may require some more research on your part.
It seems that your client expects 200x200 resolution and has no automatic
way at present to detect a 200x100 format, and act accordingly.
This is also an old old problem that first was noticed in the early days of
windows fax. So I don't hold out much hope of getting it fixed by a change
to windows fax.
It may be that the printer driver is not a "full feature" driver, and was
likely included with windows.
There are photo oriented programs that with the use of scripting, can do the
conversion automatically.

I don't remember if the tiff file version used has any internal "flags" that
might be used to identify 200x100 formatting.
