>I took a look at the article - it said in the intro that it would only really work on "line by line" printers like dot-matrix printers. I remembered then that I had written something to do something similar for another app a while back (it dumped a "binary" print file that had been captured to the printer).

That's what I get for not looking closely enough at the article. Sorry. If I can remember, I'll try to see if there's another article. If you want to try yourself. I found this one by searching on "winspool.drv".

>On another note, when you mentioned winspool.drv, it got me thinking about the setup on this machine....spooling is turned off (because we print to network queues) and do you know off the top of your head if this means that the work does not actually go through winspool.drv (seems to me that it would still go through there but just wondering). Does this trigger anything?

AFAIK, regardless of the spooling setting, VFP (and everything else) goes through winspool. It's listed quite prominently in the dependencies. We print to network queues as well.
