How do I print to the local printer? Can I do it with a report form?
>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.

>>I have a couple of ancient Fox DOS programs running. Some network changes were made (removing the print queues) and now these report forms freeze the DOS window when run.

>>I have tried this on my development machine with the same result. WinXP printing to a network printer. The DOS window freezes at "SET PRINT TO" or when "REPORT FORM XXX TO PRINT" is entered. "REPORT FORM XXX PREVIEW" works fine.
