Jim,

This sounds like a problem Doug Dodge was having a few months ago. He marked thread #549636 message #550173 as the solution, but he did not actually say if he got it implemented and working.

Perhaps he is lurking around and will see this thread...


>I created an application that prints thousands of reports per day and for some reason they print extremely slow.. that is... i will have hundreds if not thousands of spool files and yet the printer will only print 6 or seven pages then it pauses 2 to 3 minutes then print another 6 or 7 pages...
>
>the reason i have so many reports is because each report packet gets 3 distinctly different reports, so i have to run them once each for each "customer"
>
>i removed all the lines and bitmaps from the reports so that all that is left is the data but it still prints dog slow...
>
>i have vfp 6.0 and have updated to service pack 5 running on win98, any thoughts?

>thanks!
