Hi Friends:
Please tell me you faced this:
A customer. five PCs. One USB laser printer. They send Clipper (DOS) list from each PC. Everything Ok.
Clipper App is mine. I installe a third party program to print on a USB printer. Almost a year no problem.
I was promising during five years "I'm developping a new program and someday you will be surprised.
And this week was (or it was going to be) the great day.
I arrived. I installed my new VFP program. And I started to test everything is ok.
When I send to print a report just one blank sheet is the best that dammed printer can give me.
I tried with a Excel sheet and prints. Not all the page.
"Change tonner, please"
Anyway when they use Clipper no problem. So they are not going to change tonner just because I tell them.
Mmm.
I return to home defeated. Then went on using my old clipper program.
I think the problem is the printer but there are others problem with my program I have to solve.
They phoned me: "Printer doesn't print. Just blank sheets! We changed tonner but it still does the same! Is it possible anything remains around there?"
Or rather: "Everything was fine just before you put your stupid new program!"
I know I should deactivate third party program to print from DOS to test, but any of you may provide me any similar experience? (and, of course, the solution?)
Thank you.
Héctor
