On that I can't help you, Jon. I have never in 20 years of use printed
from DP. I always import my reports into WP where I have easy control of
the formatting & printing. An added step, but it makes life much easier
in my opinion. My suggestion re: printer codes is based on the need to
insert a couple of printer codes so the file is recognized in Windows as
a WP 4.2 file.

THanks Don,
Yeah, I did use "printer control" function for each separate printer code
request. Does your DPspool work with different fonts, margins and such? I
was so excited to get this going on Windows but now I'm stuck.

Maybe this is so elementary that you didn't bother to mention it, but
did you insert the printer codes using "Printer Control"? Or did you
just type them into the first page section of your report form? The
latter doesn't work, for me, at least.

Hi Everyone (& Tim if you're out there):
Still can't get DPspool to work with DP2.6e.
Those printer codes, fonts, & margins seem to be ignored and go to
default Courier 10 with 10 lines/inch spacing, no margins.
Underline and bold printer codes DO WORK and the printer DOES print
the reports, just wrong font, margins, etc.
1. I tried changing printers, didn't help (Okidata 10ex and Brother
1440, both are DOS/Windows printers but they automatically go Windows
mode when windows is connected).
2. I put the printers codes in first page header AND other page
header as well...still no luck.
3. I tried various font names (case specific) listed for WinXP (all
true type fonts)...latest trial was Dauphin, I checked these fonts
with font viewer in Wordpad so they should work.
4. I double checked print queue location, it's where it should be in
"c:\programs\dpspool", program "sees" print jobs requested and prints
when I look at DPspool print manager.
5. I tried printing directly from WinXP to local printer, and also
from my Win2000 home server to it's attached printer.
6. I edited the default printer on the INI file (see attachment) with
same printer code settings.
7. I RELOADED Visual Basic 6.0 and latest patch.
For what it's worth, here are my printer codes in the order I placed
them in first page header (DOES THE ORDER MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE?):
8 lines per inch <213><0><8><213>
Font name <244>FDauphin<244>
Font point size <244>P9<244>
Font width ratio <244>W75<244>
Set left margin <192><0><0><12><0><192>
I put these codes all under their own printer code headings.
Any help appreciated! Thanks.
