By issuing SET PRINTER ON, you only have access to Windows Fonts and cannot get to the Printers internal Fonts. You cannot send PCL Printer Commands to change Form Length, etc.<br>

By issuing SET DEVICE TO PRINTER with the ??? ' ' command, you can use PCL Commands but cannot get to Windows Fonts.
 
Have you tried creating a database of the PCL commands you want to use, and then in the report form where you want to use them make a call to the database field for that PCL call ????
