Windows 2000 printing problems? 2

[jimstarr]

The app I'm developing works fine except under Windows 2000 where all reports come out garbled. I'm using VFP 5.0a. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Have you tried getting updated printer drivers explicitly written for Win2000 from your printer manufacturer?

No, I haven't. This problem is actually occurring at the customer's site where they are testing on various platforms. They say that printing is fine on Win2000 with their other applications.

Jim,
In your application, do you leave the printer specific information in your .FRX files, or do you blank it out before building your .EXE?
There may be conflicts in either the specific printer you have set as a default with their default, or it may be a Win2000 problem with 5.0 generated info -I only have 6.0 apps on Win2000 right now.

I haven't touched the .FRX files. Sounds like it's worth a try. Thanks, Rick.
