>>>I've got a serious problem. I'm working on upgrading a clients system from FPD 2.6 to VFP. Everything has gone smoothly right up to a couple of reports. They were designed for a wide carriage printer in compressed print mode (it ends up being about 250 characters wide). I tried setting up a custom form within the printer driver, and the report displays on the screen fine, but when I go to print it, I get a GPF. I've tried 4 different drivers, and it's always consistent. I didn't attempt to upgrade the form, but created it from scratch.

>>>I believe it is an epson wide carriage printer. I unfortunately do not have access to the printer, but have been playing around with fooling the system (print the the queue, but have the printer paused). I don't think that this is the problem, but maybe someone can tell me otherwise. I've also tried it on other machines with the same results. I thought maybe I'd just keep the DOS report, but it still wants to use the Windows Printer Driver.

>>>Anyone got any ideas on how to get something like this working. I'd be willing to live with the DOS report (and they would too), if that is an easier approach, but I need to be able to specify the printer it is going to.

I meant the orginal driver that came with the printer. Using these whenever possible has fixed lots of printer problems for me.
