If your NT Printer Names are long file names, there is a bug in VFP SP3 that generates 'Error Loading Printer Driver' messages. Repeated
SET PRINTER commands will eventually work. The only workaround at this time is to wrap the SET PRINTER commands in a class library,
trap the error, and loop until successful (or max attempts have been reached).
The only other solution is to shorten all of the network printer names to <=8 characters.

>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.
