>The file F_PL contains all the printer code for the printer used when developing the report - code that tells the printer fonts, fontsize, bold/italic, etc. Printing will ONLY work if you send it to the same type of printer (as Vlad said), and the printer codes will show up if you open the file with a text editor. Sometimes the DOS TYPE command will work better than the COPY command.

You may also try to print to the logical port of the network, e.g.

copy F_PL \\printserver\myprinter (in DOS)
or RUN copy .......... (in FoxPro)
or COPY FILE F_PL TO \\printserver\myprinter (in FoxPro)

I don't know if it is possible to open the port with the fopen() function, and write to it using fwrite()

If you have NOVELL, you may try and use a CAPTURE command.

Hope this helps...
