Bruno,

Well I, know that there are some API's to pop up the properties of a specific printer (DocumentProperties API) which requires a DEVMODE structure to call. If you know how, you can use this DEVMODE structure in TAG or TAG2 of a Frx file to print according those settings. I've played with it a while ago, but did not manage to get it work.

In cases where you want to print without reports, I'm afaid there is no way you can tell VFP to use the DEVMODE structure returned by the DocumentProperties API.

It may be wise to try a product like PowerPrinter (available from the files section ?) to have more control over the printersettings in VFP.

Walter,
