Oops - the second command should be:
RUN COPY filename PRN -- remove the TO

>If that doesn't work, try REPORT FORM formname TO FILE filename ASCII, then RUN COPY filename TO PRN (or LPT1, etc).

>>>I am currently a new user to visual foxpro developing a Retail POS system. My problem is that every time I go to print a receipt, which should come out straight away, instead it goes to spooler. It seems as if there is page formatting active. Is there a command to set of all formating. Is there a way I can set print on, print a number of lines and then set print off? I have also found that I have to use a TEXT GENERIC driver for my star receipt printer otherwise it is very slow at printing. Please can somebody help?
