>I have created a cheque writing report using Foxpro 2.5 report writer. I have selected the HP Laser III printer driver ( I am actually using the HP 6P but the older driver should work. ) The problem is that a) the printer is printing a control character each time it issues a form feed ( usually on the last page of the cheques ), the character is the double vertical arrow ( arrow head at top and bottom). I can't seem to get rid of it. Any suggestions.
>Thanks
Since you're using FP 2.5 and as far as I know there is not a windows version of it your reports are in plain ASCII. Than instead of using HP Laser III printer driver you could use "no printer" setup and do a DOS print. For embedding special codes such as font size, bold, condensed etc you could add the codes to your report (codes are in HP manual). If you use only one font type and style than set it as deafult through control panel (HP 6P could be controlled through a software as far as I know).
Another way (I think you'll prefer) is to add an entry to p_codes.dbf for HP Lasetjet 6P and write the codes as appropriate. P_CODES.DBF keeps the codes like fontsize, bold setting etc.
