Also, explicitly set and reset the SET PRINTER TO at the end of printing to force a flush of the print queue...ie:
SET DEVICE TO PRINT
SET PRINTER TO LPT1:
...
{printing commands or report}
...
SET PRINTER TO
SET DEVICE TO SCREEN
I may have my DEVICE and PRINTER commands out of order....hard to test...don't have FB+ (thank god).
