Hi Kent, This is a problem when Getprinter() is called. You can provide a printer name otherwise also. Provide a combo with installed printerlist on report screen. Populate the combo with Aprinter(). For all report get printer name from this combo value. Now you donot require to call Getprinter(). This should work.
Bottom line is that do not call Getprinter(). Provide a printername without a call to Getprinter(). Whenever Getprinter() is called, printer factory default setting is obtained, not what is set in windows. I donot know this is a problem with VFP or Windows. I think this is a problem with VFP because when a printer dialog is called from Word/Excel, printer seting is observed, not printer factory setting is obtained.

The user clicks on a button to "set up printer" to which I then call Sys(1037). Then they can click on print. The problem I have is that, even though they set the properties as desired (in this case, duplex printing) it doesn't remember the settings. So my users can specify all the nifty things they want, but the printer ignores them. I think it also goes back to the default printer thing. I think I am stripping out the printer drivers from the .fr? Files, but I will check. If you find any solutions, please let me know. And I will do the same for you.

The client has Windows 2000 workstations and the VFP help says this command should work. Anyone have an idea why this command is not working?
