I am trying to print in XP or 2000 using FPW 2.6.

Every job results in a general protection fault in module FOXW2600.esl. Foxprow will now close.

Are there any patches out there to fix this?

Thanks
 
The order of your commands makes a big difference. The SET PRINT ... commands. Do a keyword search in this forum on something like "printing" and you'll see some good examples for it.

Also, if the printer you are using is an HP, try using the MS printer drivers for HP, try the newest HP ones or you may have to "downgrade" to an older HP driver. Bottomline - for a while HP put out some very bad printer drivers that left the FPU in a bad state that caused a lot of applications problems (not just FoxPro, but it was more "sensitive" to the situation than some).

I have experienced this problem on our FP2.6 application several times on the HP4000/8000 series printer drivers on several different client networks (NT and Novell). Some workstations (W2K, W98SE, and XP )would print and some would not. In all cases we backed off to and HP driver for the LJ5 or LJ4 (per HP troubleshooting FAQ's) to solve the problem. HP also suggests first backing the print resolution down to 600 or 300 dpi first to see if that helps (it didn't tho!).

Favor si pueden proporcionarme algún parche (patch) para poder usar mi viejo y querido FoxProw en Windows XP.
