Hello Dmitry.

If you are filling in pre-printed forms and want to have 100% control over the printing process you can try another thing, specially when you have a dot matrix and want Text mode.
If this is your situation, we solved this issue in order to print a 7" form and we don't depend on printer drivers or paper sizes.

Try this in your printing procedure:

** -----------------------------------------------

set device to print

??? " " && bypasses the printer driver and sends data
&& directly to the printer.
&& See the help for ??? and PROW() commands

@ prow() + 1, 1 say " "
@ prow() + 1, 20 say alltrim(cCompany)
@ prow() + 1, 20 say Date()

@ prow() + 5 say " "

** Add any VFP commands you need to print your form: IF, CASE, etc.

** Close printer


set device to screen


** --------------------------------------
