I am trying to print receipts to a dot matrix printer using VFP 5.0. In DOS, the following code communicated with the printer and allowed me to set page length to 33 lines:

SET DEVICE TO PRINT
SET PRINT ON
SET CONSOLE OFF

?? CHR(27) + CHR(67) + CHR(33)

In Windows, I get garbage characters and no change of page length. How am I supposed to send Esc sequences through the Windows driver???

TIA.

John
