Hi Albert

I think I was probably referring to using the drivers available in the OS rather than using the CD supplied with the printer. I assume the drivers still come from the printer company but made available by MS for convenience. Since most HP printers support PCL the driver does not have to be the exact one for your model if you are not using any model specific features. So sometimes I use just a basic LaserJet driver when customers cannot find their specific printer driver CD.

Yes I am still doing custom VFP work but have not used Visual Maxframe.

I was searching the msgs area here and you mentioned using the MSFT drivers instead of the HP ones - when I bring up the "Add a printer" wizard, how would I find the native MSFT drivers instead of the HP ones - I looked under "generic" and I assume all those under "HP" are HP drivers. Or do I have to search MSFT's site for their drivers? Just thought I could try their drivers as nothing from HP has solved the problem.
