>I have a Foxpro 2.6 for DOS app printing to shared a printer on another 95 station. The port is properly captured. The job does spool but gets released in about a minute. This issues were resolved on 95 systems running under Novell by issuing a SET PRINTER TO after the report was competed. This is not working for 95. Issuing a !REM>NUL is not doing either. Of course exiting Foxpro for DOS releases to job right away and it prints immediately. Any tips would be appreciated.

We have had similar issues with our DOS product, however we do not use Foxpro for Dos. This behavior usually occurs with printers that have special drivers or utilities controlling the print spooling. We usually disable these utilities, so that the win95 print spooler is in control. I would make sure no software is running for the printer, and try some other printers. We also run into problems with Windows only printers. This probably isn't your problem, but something to look out for.
