The old clipper program probably sends the report in text mode to the printer. You can do the same. Prepare a text file, and send it to the printer with the command "???". For example:

* Insert commands to send information to text file, MyReport.Txt, here

lcFileInRam = FileToStr("MyReport.txt")
??? lcPrinterCodes + lcFileInRam

Printer codes would contain printer commands to select a standard font. rtfm - the printer manual in this case.

You may want to use my reporting class for text reports and Excel reports - download #9991 - to assist you in creating the report.
