Hello,

I have installed the latest Visual Studio Service Pack (6 I think?) to try solve some HP Printer driver nightmares (blue screens) some of my clients are experiencing with my VFP6 app. There didn't appear to be much about redistribution in the Readme files, and I can't install the Service Pack on the clients machine because he only has VFP6 runtime. Does anyone know if I need to do more than recompile my application and upload it to a client in order to try to resolve the printer driver issue(s) ?

I am also suprised that this is not a more common topic of discussion. I have encountered at least half a dozen HP Printers that crash the entire system if you try printing twice in VFP6 using the driver that came with the printer. It seems to happen often in my little app (mainly HP with printers) and the only fix I have discovered is to use generic HP drivers from the Windows CD. But this usually happens after the user has crashed my app over and over trying to print, and finally contacts me for a solution.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Whitney C
