Reports not printing from users default network printer

[RussA]

Hi, I want my app to print to the users default network printer. It currently prints from my network printer. I have tried “Set printer to default” and “GETPRINTER()” without any luck. So far the only way I can change the printer is in report properties before I compile the EXE. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Russ

Hi

1. I think you are using an earlier version of VFP
May be this link will help you.
How to hack FRX file to strip printer driver information
faq184-581

2. If you are using VFP8 then in your options you can select avoiding save of printer info with reports.

That will solve your problems.

Thanks for the response ramani, I forgot to mention I’m using FPW90 SP1.

“Save Printer Environment” is also unchecked in report properties.
