Anyone knows how to do this?
Also, if you have any ideas and know hows about printing from FPDos to
XP, it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I just upgraded from Win98SE to XP-Pro and FPD 2.6 works fine, though
perhaps not as fast as before.
I did have a glitch at first when trying to print, causing a 30-second delay
before the printer started. The fix is to edit the registry:

At HLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WOW, change "LPT timout" from 15 to
2

This reduced the delay to about four seconds, which is acceptable to me.
Giving LPT Timeout a value of 0 or 1 might speed it up even more, but I
haven't tried it.

Thanks. But this is for Parallel printers right? Anyone got any ideas
about printing to USP printers?

Thx.

The best way I have found is to
1. Set the printer up and print a test page from Windows XP - Just to be
sure.
2. Share the printer - like \\rod\usbprinter
3. Then use the printer - net use lpt3: \\rod\usbprinter

This then gives you a Lpt3: printer which Foxpro 2.6 can see.

BTW - The Pc needs to be connected to a network for this to work.

Yes, it's for parallel printers. How do you get FPD to print to a USB
printer?

Well, that's exactly my question... How?
