Hello Alek,

I understood your idea, but my problem is "How print fast when I make a report for a ink-jet printer?"...

I know, If I make the report and select "Epson Lx 300" like a "printer default" I can do this... But, my aplication will be used for a hundred people. I don't know, but I think so, who has Epson Lx-300 (or other one) and who has HP (ink-jet)...

I think ( a litle more) about my problem: I think this is no solution. It is a problem about Windows and not VFP. If you choise font "ARIAL" (or "COURIER"), the Windows will use this font and then printer slower if you choise "Epson Lx-300".

If I found any solution to my problem, I will try to explain to you (and another members too!)

Thank you for your attention.

By the way: The Brazil soccer team didn't win this night! It's terrible!!!

Thank you (one more time)

>>Hi people,
>>
>>One more time I came back here to found an anwser about a usual problem that I have.
>>
>>I'd like to create just one report and this report can be printed in any printer. Example: Epson Lx 300, Hp 840, etc...
>>
>>My problem is: If you configure the objects in report using HP 840 and print this report in Epson Lx 300, the print job is very slow. If you make the report using Lx300 and choice a printer-font like "Roman 20cpi" and print this report in HP 840, VFP "write" a lot of "*****" in my paper... (Sorry about my English, but I think I can explain my problem! :)
>>
>>In Foxpro (DOS - version 2.6) I didn't have any problem... I configure paper size, number of rows and put some variables like _Font20, _Font10 before "field expression" and then FPD 2.6 make the printer ok.
>>
>>Maybe, if I'd have a program that convert FRX to PRG, I could simulate a printer like FPD 2.6.
>>
>>What could I do?
>>
>>Have a nice day!
