I have a report in FoxPro 2.6 which is supposed to print to an envelope feeder on an HP LaserJet Printer. The report worked fine until recently.

I just switched all our printers to be network printers using JetDirect cards and cat 5 wire to connect to our hub and therefore our computer system.

Everyone has the JetAdmin software; the print drivers for the printers are installed and working fine from MS Word and other programs.

When I open the report and edit the "printer setup" under "page layout," I can choose the paper size, #10 Envelope, and I can choose envelope feeder. I then proceed to save and close the file. When I open it again to check the settings, paper size is #10, but the envelope feeder is no longer selected, instead the multi-purpose tray appears.

I have two thoughts. First, there may be a way in code to force FoxPro to tell the printer which tray it is printing to. Second, that FoxPro 2.6 does not support network redirections using the \\HP_NETWORK_PRINTERS\38.17.23.201 syntax for print drivers.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Take care,
Jeff
