How do you copy the macro to the printers? Can you do it inside of VFP? I can only get it to work by doing :
! COPY mymacro LPT2 /b

This brings up the annoying dos window and just doesn't seem right. When I issue: COPY FILE myMacro TO LPT2.DOS --I get not enough disk space. (100k macro, with 2mg of printer memory) If I do: COPY FILE myMacro TO LPT2 --I get invalid seek offset.

Thanks for your help,
Marcus.
