>>I have a client who has a Lexmark Z13 printer. I have a utility in VFP6SP5 to take as a parameter a text filename and printer name. I have used Ed Rauh's class to send the text file to the printer. I have tested successfully on a W2K machine with a Parallel Canon Inkjet printer and also a XP machine with a USB Canon Printer.

>>But this machine W98 and USB Lexmark Z13 printer but it does not work. In fact the printer icon appears momentarily and disappears without printing.

>>Please advise.
