I'm taking over an old program that outputs various data sources to one, fairly complex report. The user now wants to print the report on an HP LJ4. That printer uses PCL 5e and according to my research, I'd use the HPLAS260.prt driver that came with Dbase. I used DBSETUP to modify the config.db with the printer info and altered the code with the driver info (_PDRIVER=HPLAS260) and placed my control codes in the appropriate places. The program just locks up and I have to use task manager to end it. Is there something I'm missing. Can somebody provide sample code or references for printing to a LJ through code using printer control codes?
