Hi

I installed a VFP 7.0 SP1 application on a WinXP Home terminal that serves as the data server for a Peer to Peer network. Since the client has multi-part invoices they are using an EPSON LQ-2080 dot matrix printer.

The application prints fines from two workstations and all the data on the invoices is printed in the correct location. However, on the 3rd terminal all items not in column 0 are shifted to the left about 1/2 inch. The terminals are all running WinXP Home.

So I was wondering why the printing works perfectly on 2 terminals but not on the third terminal. The computers are all brand new and installed about 1 week ago.

Since they are dot matrix printers with non-standard page lengths I am using the old @ Say commands to print the invoices. It makes me think that the VFP default printer font is different on one machine than the others resulting in different spacing. However, I never set the default font and wondered what might be the cause. I have this application running in two other locations and it does not have this problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Simon
