In the process of converting a Foxpro 2.6 application into Visual Foxpro 6.0, I came across to the task of having to fill pre-printed forms on a dot matrix printer.

The problem arises when I try to send a "report form" command to the printer. Windows takes over and sends a series of control characters to the printer, and the dot-matrix printer tries to "draw" the text that will fill the form.

Question: Is there an easy way to have Visual FoxPro 6.0 send straight text to the dot-matrix printer?
