>I do not have a dot matrix to test, but see what PRTINFO(11) returns for a DM printer. For that type of printer, I would guess the value is quite low compared to a deskjet or laser. Also see VFP Help on PRTINFO function to see of PRTINFO(12) might help you as well.
Interesting idea. You don't need a physical printer to test - just install the printer/driver.
I tested with an Epson FX-80 driver, reports 120 horizontal and 144 vertical (PRTINFO(8) and PRTINFO(11) respectively). However, Generic/Text Only reports 600/600 (same as my HP LaserJet 5).
(all results under W2K SP2)
