You'll need to use aprinters() to test if the HP LJ III printer is installed first before using the driver for it.

I'm also using a customized print dialog to control the printing of our reports since some of them (reports) would sometimes come out strangely i.e. produce extra pages, the bottom (footer) would not print, etc. Maybe it's because of the reports themselves having something that causes it to come out that way.

I'm already in SP3 of VFP6 which fixed the problem of some reports not even printing to the specified printer.
