>>Since service pack 3 of VFP6, my clients and I cannot print from NT. I get error 1958, error loading printer driver. We were all using HP drivers, and the problem dissappears for most after changing to MS drivers. However, it didn't help a few people. Can anyone successfully print from NT with an HP driver using VFP6 SP3? Anyone know why this would start occuring after installing SP3 runtimes? Thanks for any input, it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Evan,
It is helpful to know you can print. I guess I should have specified that it chokes when bringing up the printer dialog box (not from getprinter()) when using REPORT FROM ... PROMPT.. Are you doing this on your installs? What model driver are you using? I know before SP3 there was an issue with blue screens and freezing up with HP drivers. At least it happened to me on EVERY machine.
Marcus.
