Luis, I use this technique in our VFP 3.0 app for users who wish to print to dot matrix printers without using the printer driver. It prints much faster without all the fonts. When printing over a network (with captured printer ports) I had no problem, but on machines with local printers I got a similar error message. Try this: COPY FILE myText.txt TO LPT1.DOS - The KB says this should only be a temporary solution, but it was the only one I could find. The 3 letter extension (.DOS) can be anything you want. Hope this works for you too.
Marcus.
