Not quite. I'm trying to get the printer to change one of its features on the fly. There are a series of documents which print from both Word and Crystal Reports. They always print dual-sided, but all docuements can be printed in "Flip Pages Up" mode either on or off. Since the documents are printed by Word/CR, changing the FoxPro driver didn't seem to have an effect. I wanted to change the Windows driver and this control - when manually controlled - seems to do just that. But I've never been able to get the Check Box to toggle from within my program and was hoping you would have some additional advice on ways to get that to happen.
