Page setup in Windows 7

[raspoutine]

I create a label for Zebra printer. When i want to define my printer name in Page setup (Page Layout tab ) there is no button for change the printer in Windows 7. In windows Xp that work fine.
Someone have the solution ?

Are you sure you have a printer driver installed?

Yes. I have 4 printers (Hp Laserjet 4350 - Hp Office Jet L7580 - Star TSP100 - Zebra lp2844.
All drivers are installed and all printer works fine.
The problem is always the same, i don't chose any printer at page Setup in VFP 9 Sp2

Thanks for the info.
The solution that you propose is for the run.
My problem is during the creating of the label report

 

[Olaf Doschke]

You can set the Zebra to the default printer, then it should appear in the page layout, then check the "save printer environment" checkbox and save the frx.

Afterwards you can change the default printer to the previous default again.

Actually the problem is the same as in runtime, there is a chance the code of douglas could be incorporated in the Reportbuilder.app, sources of that apps are available in xsource.

The dialog is in frxhandlers.vcx, the reportpropertieshandler is the dialog for report properties.

Bye, Olaf.

I meant Doug of course.

Thanks everybody.
I resolve my problem by returning in Win Xp to elaborate my label. Then i return in win 7 to continue my programming.

That's the progress view by Microsoft

 

[Olaf Doschke]

That's okay and perhaps the fastest solution, as long as you don't need to setup an XP machine for it.

Actually the system dialog changed and there was only a cut off of the printer button in FoxPro, as FoxPRo didn't change. Anyway it was Microsoft making the change, that's true.

Bye, Olaf.
