I'm having trouble with one of my legacy VFP8 apps on Windows 7/64. We also have XP and Windows7/32 clients that don't have the issue.
This is in my report framework and I offer different output options from preview, print, email, to fax. When sending to the fax server, I run the report to a postscript file and send the .ps file to the fax server. To do this I set up a "Generic PostScript Printer" which is just a HP Laserjet 2800 PS printer driver set to print to file as the port. My code then iterates getprinters() and if it finds "Generic PostScript Printer" it uses that and issues (simplified code below): SET PRINTER TO NAME "Generic PostScript Printer" REPORT FORM (reportfrx) to FILE (outfile) SET PRINTER TO DEFAULT As I said, in all other systems it works just fine but on the Win7/64 system I just set up, apparently the printer isn't getting set to the postscript because the file is (apparently) PCL (the user's default printer is PCL, which leads me to believe that perchance the SET PRINTER call didn't really set the printer for some reason). I need to do some detailed testing on this one system but I can't until the user is gone for the day, so I thought I'd post this here in case anyone has any suggestions in the meantime.
