>I'm trying to trick a report to scale it down in size because the customer wants to print at 20CPI the way his old DOS program printed. Does anyone know how to trick a VFP REPORT into printing smaller like the buggy version of VFP 5.0 did?

Rich, are you relying on fonts native to the printer, or using Windows fonts? If you're relying on native fonts, consider sending the output to an ASCII file, and wrapping it front and back with control sequences to set the print mode, send the ASCII output, form feed and then reset the printer state, and squirting the file out the print port using CopyFile() as shown in the FAQ.
