>>Hi Guys,
>>I have a client who has been running my software for the last 6 years written in VFP6 without any problem, Today they have installed a new HP LaserJet 1022 printer and every time they try and print the full program Freezes. Has anybody had this problem before.

The other day I read that for an HP 6210 multifunction device, a minimum software installation is 339MB, full installation over 750MB.
>3. Try a compatible PCL5 or PCL6 driver from the workstation's Windows CD (e.g. Windows XP). This may not work if the printer is a GDI printer; it may require its own driver to function at all.
>4. Requires code changes:
