Hi Jeff,

If available, use a the Windows printer driver instead of the HP, or look
for compatible drivers for your printer like the one for LaserJet 4 which
will work just fine with FoxPro.

About SBT, it all depend on the VFP version used to build your version of
SBT. I know SBT does some very nice internal process to the report itself
in order to make them work with all Windows drivers.
