I have spent quite a bit of time this past year screwing with printers and printer drivers.

Foxpro wants you to bind a printer driver with a report, and it evidently carries this characteristic from your development envireonment to the EXE you distribute to your users.

All my users want are boring reports with nonproportional fonts that are 120 characters wide.

I thought that an ancient HPIIP would be the best print driver to bind to the reports but some users have had trouble with the computer printing reports that don't line up (i.e., print in a proportional font). I tell them to print to a generic text print driver and often this.

So, assuming the users will want to print to their own printer, should I bind a generic text print driver to my reports? Or what now would the best choice of printers to attach to the reports?

Prayer of St Ephrem:
O Lord and Master of My Life,
Take from me the spirit of sloth, meddling, ambition and vain talk.
But give me a spirit of prudence, humility, patience and love.
Yes Lord and King grant me to see my own sins and faults
and not judge my brother.
For You are Blessed Forever and Ever. Amen.
