    Greetings to everybody,

    I just changed one machine on a network from Windows 98 to Windows XP, they
    use the SBT accounting system, I know nothing about SBT or FoxPro, I believe
    they have Vision point 2000 with FoxPro 2.6, basically the app is running
    perfectly fine, with the exception of printing, any print job to LPT1
    causes a GPF and closes out the program, that machine has a HP LasterJet
    4050 connected locally, I'm able to print to file and open with notepad but
    not directly to LPT1, this is obviously a major pain and for the time being
    forced to halt changing all other machine on the network to XP, the worst
    part is that I don't even know where to start looking, I would assume that
    LPT1 is LPT1 regardless of the OS, I have never seen a problem with any
    16bit app printing to LPT1 so why should FoxPro be any different, the only
    possibility is the driver, does FoxPro use the windows driver, or is sending
    directly to LPT1, if FoxPro tries to interact with the driver I can why this
    would be happening and the question becomes, which driver should be used, I
    tried changing it to HP LasterJet 4 with no success, I'm personally
    convinced that the problem is with the driver because I captured LPT1 to a
    network printer also a 4050 with no success. So if FoxPro 2.6 is simply not
    able to communicate with XP's driver then my guess would be to either
    finding a working driver, or perhaps bypass XP's driver by forcing FoxPro
    to send the print job directly to LPT1 rather then the driver if that's even
    possible.

    Oh forgot to mention, when I preview it shows up fine.

    Thanks
