I have an app written in VFP5. My user, who happens to be my Dad in this case, just bought a new computer. I had to update the printer driver with the new computer since it has Windows ME. When I did the printouts started printing about an inch square in the upper left corner of the page. I have had this problem before so I opened the reports files and cleared the information out of the EPR, TAG, and TAG2 fields. It still wouldn't work. I found an option on the printer setup screen for True Type Fonts, I unchecked it and then it printed OK. I made that the default setting, I don't want my Dad to have to try to remember too many mouse clicks. Now it prints in Landscape mode! IF you pool up the printer properties and move the setting to Landscape and then back to Portrait it prints like it's supposed too. If I update this to VFP 6 will that help? Or should I try something else? Thanks for any suggestions.
