Take a look at ??? in the VFP help. This sends a string directly to the printer bypassing the print driver.

I used this a long time ago and as I recall there is one character in the ASCII character set that does not go over correctly. I think the character is "/" which if I am right has to be sent as "//" to get "/" at the printer.

I was using REPORT FORM TO FILE and capturing the output of the print driver to a file (PS or HP). I then later fed this back to the printer using ???. It was a little slow compared to the print driver but it did work.
