>I'm following you, the printer controls specified by the report (the report memo .frt) are for the inkjet...but how do I set the printer for the report at run time? I use the the command: SET PRINTER TO NAME GETPRINTER(). Shouldn't that override the printer controls specified in the report memo? Or, how do I setup the report so it's printer independent?

Wipe out the printer information in the .FRX's EXPR and TAG fields related to the printer - I believe there is an entry in the FAQ describing how to do this either at runtime or just before compiling into an .EXE. Look at the following entries in the FAQ:

527 My SET PRINTER TO NAME... won't work, why? 05/24/1999
528 SET PRINTER still doesn't work? 05/26/1999
552 Why won't my report print to the SET PRINTER TO NAME printer? 07/29/1999

>>>Hi,
>>>I am trying to run a report on an Epson LQ-570+ dot matrix printer but instead all I get are page feeds (aka. form feeds).
>>>However, this report prints fine using my Epson Inkjet printer. I tried switching between the Windows driver and the driver Epson provides, but I get the same results. Yet, I can print out of this same dot matrix printer in other application (ie. Word and Test Print in Printer setup) just fine.

>>The control sequences are not identical, so if your output is producing suff formatted for the InkJet, the DMP is not going to recognize the print codes, especially if it's sending graphics sequences.
