List of Printers in Reports - Strange Behaviour

I have an app in fox 2.6 for windows (no time to upgrade, it works fine) but after a reshuffle of hardware I've lost visibility of some of my printers.

The list of available printers shows only 4 printers of a possible 14.

VFP shows the complete list. Word '97 shows the complete list. Excel '97 shows the same list as fox 2.6. Bit spooky.

Where is the list of printers controlled from? How is it determined? Any ideas on where to go.

My only workaround is to make all reports print to the default printer and then change the default printer each time I have to print a different type of report. Primitive but atleast we can work. Not ideal and we have some print jobs which print once to each of our 2 real printers. (The others include the fax printer and 11 are for the generation of graphics files which are sent electronically to the printers)

thanks -- Sarah
