Title:
Major Bug - HP Deskjet & VFP5
I've duplicated this on 3 machines. I have a HP Deskjet 670c. I created a small .exe having 1 table and 1 report using the HP Deskjet as default printer.
I turn on the Windows95 Resource meter found by clicking 'Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Resource Meter'
(If you don't have this file you can install it. It is in the 'Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs - Windows Setup - Accessories'
Next I run the VFP5 .exe File I created. (You can do this in development or LIVE!)
Take a look at your resource meter taking particular note of 'SYSTEM and GDI' percentages.
Next I PREVIEW the Report.
Close the Report
Review Resources
PREVIEW the Report
Close the Report
Review Resources
My resources continually go down without releasing themselves. This will continue till it locks up the machine.
Next I repeated the test to a Panasonic Printer as my default.
Recreated the .exe and tried again.
No problem, the resources release themselves as necessary.
I tried this with a HP4si Printer. No Problem.
I installed the HP 560c Printer using the Windows 95 supplied by Microsoft. No problem.
Went back to HP670c - Lost resources until it locked me out.
Any suggestions?
