>>We are doing a Fox 2.0 DOS to VFP9 conversion. There are more reports than you can shake a stick at. They are written using ?? and ? to send raw data to the printer. I have been able to get this to work with the default printer but need to be able to get the current default printer, set the default to a printer for wide column reports and then set it back to the original default.
