Have you checked the printer manual? What is the pages per minute for this printer? Did the printer use to print faster?
I am just trying to raise some questions that might lead you to the fact that is might be a printer (or driver) issue rather than a VFP report writer issue.

>i have a report that prints on an epson fx1170. now, printing a single page takes about 2 minutes. my user complains. they want it to print faster. how can i do this? i've used font arial in my reports. i had problems with font ms serif and courier new in terms of the alignment of texts so i changed my report to font arial.

>is there any way i can send this to text then just be able to print it by using run type command? i used this style way back using foxpro windows 2.6. what i do is to create the whole report with @say then print it to file. can i use the report itself?
