I think you do this by printing to a file i.e. REPORT FORM ... TO FILE . This creates a file with the .PRN extension.
You then need to do a DOS copy :-) to LPT1 (or LPT2) i.e. COPY TO LPT1. You do this in a batch file so that you can pass the file name of the file to print.
This is an old way of doing it but it works.
Better yet, just go to www.hotsend.com and get their free eFax Messenger Plus. It installs a printer driver to your PC that you can send your printouts to. It also connects to your e-mail app so you can send the file in thier hotsend format or the hotsend format with the viewer which the e-mail recipient can view and print.

>Hi everyone, > >I would like to e-mail report files to someone who does not have Foxpro and have them be able to print them. I seem to recall doing this once, but have since lost the knowledge. I've tried a few things and all I've been able to do is generate a very long document full of printer codes that prints them exactly like they are in the file, and not interpreted. Any ideas? Thanks! > >Regards, Renoir
