>I have a client who is using a Samsung 270 docket printer on a workstation (we are using VFP6 Windows and WinXP Pro on all computers)). We are not changing any printing defaults from the program, simply using a REPORT FORM (Ourform) OFF TO PRINTER.The printer is Set As Default from Windows on the workstation.

John, check under printer properties for that printer:

1) Under the advanced tab there is a "Spool print documents" with sub-options "Start printing after last page is spooled" and "Start printing immediately".

2) There is another option "Print directly to printer"

See what these are set for and if they can make it faster for you.
