>I have an application that in a retail environment that does allot of forms printing for a sale. Invoice, Contract, Federal & State crap....
>
>Well a user just got a new box and it's got XP. Initially the printing looked good but I didn't go into every form.
>
>All printouts go through the same function call so I know that there is consistancy in the SET PRINTER line.

>Problem:
>Most reports go on demand to the printer, Oki Data 320 Turbo. Some don't? In prior versions of Win9x no problem. W2K I never noticed the problem?
>
>I have changed the driver on the workstation to an IBP proprinter yet still have same issues.
>
>I use printer controls to manage pritner output so BOLD, Double, Condensed all work fine.
>
>Any ideas on this?
