John,

>VFP 6.0 with Service Pack 4

To counterpoint my good friend George's reply, sometimes "older printer" drivers work better too. ie for the troublesome HP printers use the rock solid LJIII driver from the windows setup. That should work for things you'd do in a VFP report. They can still use the newer printer driver for their non-VFP apps. I've never used a Brother printer so I don't know what old printer to recommend for that.
