Hi Tore,

Thanks for your reply. I ran my old VFP app and did the printing from there. It worked fine. I used the exact same INVOICE.frx.

Even test docs in MS Word and/or Excel are fine.

Have been at this over the weekend.


>>Hi Experts,

>>Ever since, I have not encountered any problems whether printing say an invoice report (using our REPORT FORM) to an InkJet or to a Dot Matrix printer; printing to any type will yield the same look (WYSIWYG).. till now.

>>My app is an upgrade in that it stores the data in MySQL; I used the same FRX (Invoice.FRX) from the old system (also VFP9).

>>When I print an invoice to an InkJet type printer it works fine. But when I direct printing to a dot matrix printer (an Epson LX-300+), the output looks like a miniature version! All the fonts are Tahoma, 9 in my FRX file. But the printout not even closely resembles a Tahoma 9. It more looks a draft mode but in a font size of 3 -- it is that small!

>>Does it have something to do REPORTBEHAVIOR (set to 90)? By the way, I use FoxyPreview, although with my other apps I have never encountered such weird behavior.
>>
>>I also made sure Save Printer Environment is unchecked.
>>
>>Thanks In Advance.
