Hi Whitney...

Some of the things I look for are incompatible drivers that come with the PC.

Try to take the PC's to the lowest common denominator (the basic VGA drivers, basic HP drivers, etc.) to try and eliminate some incompatibilities. If running Windows, try disabling some of the features in MY COMPUTER'S Properties (accelerated Video, and other things there (I don't have it in front of me to look at, but you can find them there). Reboot and then see if they clear up. If so, re-enable some of the features that were disabled and reboot again to see what effect they have.

This tends to help most times.

See ya.

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 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.
