I'm using <b>Foxpro 2.5a for windows</b> on <b>Win'98</b> and I need to find out how I can pass a message on to an <b>HP laserjet 8100</b> so that it grabs my page ejects from between print Jobs (or even certain selections of a print job) and ejects paper from the <b>manual tray</b> (1) as opposed to the <b>default tray</b> (2).<br>I'm trying to seperate my DB reports with blank sheets of a brightly coloured paper and I want to automate.<br>
 
Have you tried.<br>1. Creating a second printer for the hp with the defaults set for the manual tray.<br>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the program between print jobs change to the default printer to this new hp printer.<br>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;Issue a ??? &quot; &quot; command <br>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;Reset the default printer back to the printer you want for the next report.<br>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;Repeat steps 2-4 as many times as required to print your reports.<br><br><br> <p>David W.

??? does not work on newer machines/newer versions of Windows. It causes a GPF, and I have found no answer except to move to a newer version of Foxpro (Visual Foxpro). Any solutions to making a Foxpro 2.6 application work?
