I am converting a FPD system to FPW2.6 (Could not convince the client to go VFP yet).

This is a Novell environment. The old process ran the DOS Capture, used ??? command to send a HPPCL printer command to turn on Duplex Printing on an HP4Plus, issued the REPORT FORM Command and then sent the Printer Reset with another ??? command.

I'm using NetLib to eliminate the DOS Capture, but when I issue the ??? command followed by the REPORT FORM this winds up a 2 separate print queue entries and the report comes out single sided.

I tried imbedding the control charaters in the title page of the report using a CHR(27) etc expression, but they just show up printed on the first page instead of being interpreted as a control string.

The duplex setting can only be turned on via control characters, not via printer setup dialog.

TIA for any suggestions.
