>I see data lost if current VFP driver (? SET("printer",3)) is Generic/Text driver regardless of windows default driver. There's no data loss if current VFP driver isn't Generic/Text driver. You can issue SET PRINTER TO NAME < printer other than Generic/Text > prior to printing to avoid data loss.

A great discovery, Sergey. Thank you.

Do you know if there is a Generic/NonText driver that is present in all Windows machines and that we can use to install programmatically a fake printer to get around this problem, even when the only printer is text?

TIA,

Alex
