>>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.

Hi Alex,

If you read the rest of the thread you would see that my statement isn't entirely correct. Andrus found out that some other printer drivers, besides the Generic/Text driver, cause the same problem.
