Hi Luis,

This works for me. You wouls have to substitute the name of YOUR receipt printer for oAPP.receipt printer. My OS is XP PRO so that may also make a difference>

LOCAL lcOldPrinter

lcOldPrinter=SET('PRINTER',2)

TRY
     SET PRINTER TO NAME (oAPP.receiptprinter)
     SET PRINTER off
     ??? Chr(27)+CHR(112)+chr(0)+chr(64)+chr(240)
     SET PRINTER on
     SET PRINTER OFF
     SET PRINTER TO NAME (lcOLDPrinter)
			
CATCH
FINALLY
ENDTRY
