That addresses the control code issue, but a different problem may be the culprit here. Laser printers are inherently page-oriented; until a page feed character (CHR(14), as generated by an EJECT command). Until the number of lines sent exceeds the page length or an eject takes place, nothing will print...

>>We have an application compiled in Fox 2.6 for DOS, due for an upgrade, that we want to switch from a dot-matrix to a laser printer in the meantime. (No jokes about being behind the technology curve please). The printer has an HP driver, which should be the right one. We still can not seem to get the app to print on the laser. Is there a programatic step that we need take to get this app to print?
