I don't know if this is too simplistic, but why can't you set up a windows printer for the docutec (?) that prints to file instead of the device? Then you send them the file and they copy it to the port...

Lo-tech, but, ahem, it does work < s >.

>>>I need to have our office services department print a very large report for
us... They use a DocuTec printer which requires that jobs be in the PostScript format...

>>>Can VFP generate reports to a file in this format? If not, they say that they can convert an MS Word document into PS, so does VFP (6.0) generate word docs? Hmmmm what about VFP -> RTF format -> Word -> PS format?
>>>
>>>Kludgy, but it might work...

>>>TIA

>>Postscript is simply a printer language...like PCL. Sure, VPF can output Postscript. You just need the correct printer driver.
