Question
Hi Markish,
I am using Foxpro 2.6 for Windows with Windows XP and using Dot Matrix Printer TVSE MSP 450 Champion. When giving the print with SET PRINT ON using ? and ?? the output goes to Spooling and i have to quit foxpro and then the print comes i have already put the spooling off in the printing preferences. My another problem is say i have 4-8 lines of bill and i need to stop the printer at than point and not to skip the whole page so i have used the _peject = "none" but it dosent work. So what to do for this also.  

Answer
Hi Vikas,
  Sorry for the delay. FoxPro2.6 doesn't have any issues with XP. The printing issue may be because of the settings for the LPT port in the preferences. Do check the port settings you use.

For eject, what you are using. Are you using ?? chr(12)
If yes, you can use it conditionally.

Best regards,
Markish
