> Interesting thought. Can you elaborate, how to ensure? I randomly get this error as well, especially when trying to print to Adobe Acrobat Writer as printer.... (though Adobe is local for the computer)...

I reported this to Microsoft about a year ago, and they did acknowledge that it is a bug in Foxpro 5.0. I just did a quick test with 7.0, and didn't seem to have a problem, so I suppose this has been addressed since then.

When setting up the printer on the server, you need to specify a share name. The share name defaults to the printer name. The problem occurs when spaces are in the share name. For Instance 'Lexmark PCL' would bomb, 'LexmarkPCL' would work fine.

Hope this helps.
