I am just starting to have problems similar to this, and just discovered on my own that VFP stores info about the default printer with the report. This seems rather dopey -- device-dependent information shouldn't have to be handled by the application. This is why we have bloated operating systems like Windows! Are there any more "gotchas" waiting out there with regard to this? Do we have to save a different version of each report for each potential target printer to be sure that it will print correctly (not to mention keeping drivers on hand for printers we don't even have)? And I was having a pretty good week before this started to happen!


>>We have a few users with personal HP 550/660 deskjets. When they print vfp reports the margins are way off - one was even crooked :) I tried removing printer info from frx Expr memo, but it makes no difference. Any ideas?
