I have a report that runs in FP for DOS 2.5 that about 240 characters wide. It prints to greenbar 14 7/8 x 11 paper and works great.

However, when converting this program to VFP 6.0 it will only print 132 characters wide and cuts the rest of the information off. I believe this might have something to do with Windows spool since when using it from a DOS machine I actually just mapped the network printer to lpt1 instead of setting up a printer. I set the printer up as "Generic Text" (since that is a dotband printer) and set the page size as the correct "US Standard FanFold 14 7/8 x 11". Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

I also tried using the RUN command to run a NFS printer mapping utility to map the printer to LPT1 and then SET PRINTER TO LPT1 but that didn't work either.

Thanks for any help,
Randy
