I have an application where I print reports using the following method:
?sys(1037) && select which printer
?set print on
set printer font 'courier new',8
type &prtfile && straight txt file
set print off
set print to
Does VFP use different fonts or drivers than FPW?
When I compiled the same code in VFP 6.0, the font size changed from how it printed in FPW 2.6.
This was not that much of a problem, but now one of my users has an HP OfficeJet K80. If is a printer, fax, and scanner. It prints in MSWord fine, but in VFP, the courier new font prints extremely large. No matter what font I use or size it always prints large.
Most of the time, I can have them reinstall new printer drivers and that takes care of the problem. But they downloaded new drivers from the HP website, and it still only prints large fonts. What is puzzling, is that this printer worked fine in FPW 2.6. What is different?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
