Narrative:
The performance data for our flight printed incorrectly in such a way that the take off data for runway 27 appeared in the column for runway 36. I brought this to the attention of the dispatcher who said it did not show that way in sabre. I had the tlh station print new data using a different printer and it still showed the same misinformation. [I] noticed it during preflight because runway 27 single engine departure track appeared to be missing; computer or printer error. Computer error that needs to be investigated; someone could easily use runway 27 performance data on the more restrictive runway 36.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: Regional jet Captain describes an apparent printer error that showed the take off data for Runway 27 in the column for Runway 36. The data appears correctly in Sabre but a second attempt with a different printer produces the same results.
