Hi,
This message is not really specific to FoxPro, rather to windows printing in general. I am designing an application which will print a report form both to a local printer (LPT1) and to a network printer. I'm setting up the network print capture using NetLib's N_CAPSET() and N_CAPGET() functions. My question is this: what happens if there is no driver loaded for the networked printer? Say for instance that the user's local printer is an HP, but the network printer is an Epson. Will windows95 be smart enough to install the driver if needed? Or, will I be forced to use the WIN32API called to AddPrinterDriver? If that is the case, how can I tell which print driver to install?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
