PRINT JOB STATUS SPOOLING WHEN USING NOPAGEEJECT IN FOXPRO 9 2

[fxindra]

Dear Sirs.

I have problem when trying to print report using FOXPRO 9.
when I use

REPORT FROM NMREPORT TO PRINTER NOCONSOLE

its print immediately
but when i change to

REPORT FROM NMREPORT TO PRINTER NOPAGEEJECT

its always spooling.
It did not print until i quit foxpro

SET PRINTER TO DEFAULT
SET CONSOLE OFF
SELECT MYTABLE
REPORT FORM 'REPORTFOLDER\NMREPORT' TO PRINTER NOPAGEEJECT
SET PRINTER TO

One more, if I change the REPORT BEHAVIOR to 90 (SET REPORTBEHAVIOR 90), the print job status is 'SPOOLING-PRINTING'
and its print immediately but stop in the middle and continue again after I quit foxpro.

plase help
Thanks before

You should only use NOPAGEEJECT if you have more than one report to print, and you want them all to appear in the same print job. In that case, you would use NOPAGEEJECT with each REPORT FORM command except the last. Issue the last command without that clause, and the entire print job should print as expected.

If you only have one report to print, then do not use NOPAGEEJECT.

From Help: You must make sure that the last report run does not have a NOPAGEEJECT clause so the print job can be closed.
