Randy,

I ran into a similar problem with custom forms on a dot matrix ... a trick I've learned is to load the target printer driver on your machine and then to select it as the default printer. Modify your report and change the fonts to the printer native fonts (loaded when you loaded the printer driver). These are rarely if ever, TrueType fonts. Set up the custom form size on the printer driver. Native printer fonts will *always* be quicker than downloaded fonts.

You might want to try vbprinter.vcx (in the files area) for more complete control over the printer. The settings for the custom form don't "stick" well.

>I have a client running a panasonic 2030. Printing a service ticket is very slow. I had him load the generic/text only driver and this help the speed. But I could not control the page break I am print on a form 8.5 x 7. I try using the prompt function and going through properties and setting the custom to 850 x 700 with no luck. So how can I get my app to print quicker.
