Take a look at faq#7840.
>>>I try to print some color bmp file using MS Word, it work. When I use vfp5.0a report to print the same bmp file, the print preview is OK, but the actual output is without color, why?
>>>BTW, my O/S is Win98SE, using Canon bubblejet BJC-265SP printer.
>>
>>Make sure that printer driver is set to print in color not in B&W.

>Thank you for reply. I found where my problem is, the report was compiled when I set my old panasonic KXP-1121 dot matrix printer as default, now even though I install the Canon Bubble jet printer as default and 'SET PRINTER TO NAME "CANON BJC-265SP"' programmatically, it still using the dot matrix driver and printing B&W, until I recompiled the report, I get the color printing. If this is the case, the 'SET PRINTER TO NAME' command seen like not flexible or powerful enough!
