Any advice regarding the following printing issues would be greatly appreciated.

We have a large number of reports to be converted from a legacy application to Visual Foxpro. These reports are all printed using dot-matrix printers on multipart pre-printed stationery at 10cpi and 6 lines/inch. As there is a large number of different model printers out in the field it is not practicable for use to use a specific printer driver for these reports.

We have installed the Generic\text only printer driver on our development system and set it to be the Windows default printer. We have set the vertical grid spacing in the report to 8 designer so that we see 6 grid lines per inch.

We are have the following problems:

1. With this printer driver only 2 fonts are available, modern & Roman 10cpi. If we choose Roman10cpi, Windows substitutes a proportional font for the screen display. Is there any way to force windows to substitute a more sensible non-proportional font?
I have checked the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SHARED TOOLS\FONT MAPPING registry entries

The entries are as follows:
Name Data

Courier 10cpi "Roman 10cpi"
Roman 10cpi "Courier 10cpi"

Does this make sense?

2. When printing to an Epson RX\100
here at our office some fields will print on a new line for no apparent reason. Eg. we have the 2 fields of identical size the same horizontal position but different vertical positions in the header band of a report. The first field prints ok but the second field prints at column 1 on a new line. Other fields will also print in the wrong position for no discernible reason, even though they are displayed in correctly via "preview" at run time.

All help & suggestions will be greatly appreciated,

TIA
