This solution only works if the same printer drivers and codes are used. Generally, all HPLJ's are the same, so it should work in *most* offices.

Hi Matt,
thanks for your reply, but if I have unsertstood, you're saying that the only way to print my report on my fax driver (that is different from my default printer, an HPLJ too) it's to do a REPORT FORM myReport TO PRINTER PROMPT ?

My problem is to make a form like "Choose printer" with a combo to choose the printer a some commandbutton (Print, Preview, Close) and putting this in a VCX, so other developer can customize this form easily. Any suggestion ? I've to use Common Dialog ActiveX ?

Thanks,
