Since no one has answered you question I'll try to make a guess. FPW2.6 and it's report forms have been around a while so if there was any major error, it would have been reported long before this. I would start by looking for a problem:
1. in the configuration of Win2000,
2. or at you printer setup
3. or you Printer properties
4. or at the print driver you are using for your printer.

For some reason this is a common problem with fox26
one work around (your users will not like it) is to:

set printer to file

{run your print routine}

run edit file

print from the dos editor. then you dont have to worry about trying to get foxpro to talk to windows.

I suggest ... installing every printer of the network in the Win2000 printers list. This will make the drivers available to Win2000 for processing and sending to the network queque correctly.
