>Is this a VFP problem or an HP problem and who do you think is going to fix what?

I think it depends on which company you ask!! Although, the HP doesn't completely lock up my system in Word or any other program, so I would say it's MS's probelm. Specifically, VFP's problem. I don't care how bad HP drivers are made, they seem to work with other Windows products just fine. In VFP 6 I can't even view a report without it locking up my machine shortly after. That's how I perceive it anyway.
