Hi, Jeff
I'd guess your problem is that the "receipt printer" uses a parallel
connection, which is why you're still using @say's and also why you have
to use the "local" machine. I've just been through all this with a
client who uses multi-page forms on a couple of Okidatas.
1. You don't have to use @say's. A parallel port appears as LPT1: (or
alternatively PRN:), so your code probably looks like:
set device to print
@say........
@say........
set device to screen
This directs the @say lines to the (old) parallel port, or LPT1:
But you can also generate a plain text file, and then just
copy temp.txt to LPT1:
2. The real problem is that no new computer has a parallel port. We
finally bought a "dongle" that connects the printer's parallel
connection to the office router. But now we're not using LPT1:, and
both VFP and Windows start diddling the output, so we had to use the
RawPrint package (on the ProFox downloads), which worked just fine.
