I recently copied a proc from an internet site (www.news2news.com/vfp) that allowed printing of VFP screens. This proc was different than others I had seen in the past because it allowed printing of a screen on a dot matrix printer without the screen background color and in a legible format. It worked great on Win98, however when I do this proc from a Win2000/WinXP machine the print quality if much lower ( even when printer resolution is all the way up) and the printer emulates the screen background by printing dots. The result is awful. I believe the difference is in the way the systems handle the WinFunction CreateCompatibleBitMap. Is there any other function I can use? Or, does someone know of a screen printing routine that works on all WinVersions with Dot Matrix printers. Thanks.
