Do you have any VFP service packs installed?

We use ScrewDrivers to connect the users printers to our servers, but I installed ScrewDrivers on my machine and it still worked fine, and I had the tech guys try printing in the office using a machine that didn't have ScrewDrivers installed, and it still had problems.

Once it was reported I tried changing the report and then discovered that if I made a brand new report with only a single field on it that printed some random text I made, it so shows the same problem when printed anywhere except to my printer or to the file printers. This report is probably the only report with so much data coming from a memo field, so it's possible that other reports would also show the problem, they just never print enough text in one hit to show it.
