Draft Printing in VFP 6

[vdeveloper]

I have developed an application which needs to print a large no. of invoices for a business day. I need some guidance on draft mode printing on a dot matrix printer as in DOS. What is the printer driver I should select ? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You have to hack the printer info from the report files.
Follow my link faq184-581 to do that.
Once hacked, VFP6 application will work with the default printer set by Windows OS.

You can also provide a command button (Caption: SetOutput)
and put SYS(1037) as its click event code. This you can enable whenever the printing button is enabled or made visible suitably. This will help to select the Windows printer setup from within VFP6 applications.

Hope this helps you ramani :-9

Thanks Ramani for your info

Actually Thats not what I needed. I need to know how to print draft mode as in DOS based applications i.e. non graphical printing, which can be used for bulk volume printing e.g. invoices, daily Statements etc.
