the problem you have is not with MS-Graph but withthe reports
- te fact is that VFP "hardcodes" the printer name into the report
so what when you sent it to another printer it uses the codes for the hardcoded printer
as most printer share printer code for normal text (ie follow HP laserjet standrard etc.) you might have not noticed it before
the solution is to change the printer name directly in the .frx (just open it as a table ) - you can look for onl q. on the subject here
