My advice don't share printers and select direct print (not spool) when using foxpro for dos under windows. Two reasons:

-If you spooled your printer sometimes last few lines won't printing.
-I had some freezing problems with windows xp.

Than I don't use sharing and spooling with foxpro for dos applications and I don't have troubles. If I need printer sharing I use basic hardware printer sharing boxes.
