>>>Have you tried widening the field on the report that is displaying the asterisks? VFP uses GDI/GDI+ and the printer driver to determine how it renders fonts and the width of the fields it things it needs. It's possible there is some slight difference between machines. If widening the fields makes the problem go away, you know that it was probably related to this.

I don't have a physical printer at my desk, so I'm using NovaPDF printer as my default printer. Could it be that because I'm using this printer I can not reliably predict the output on the different printers?

I made another change, but this is really weird. I am designing my reports using NovaPDF printer as my default printer. It looks like I should not be doing that.

In any case, I changed to use CutePDF as my default printer now.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
