Problems while printing from Visual Foxpro.

Question

When I am going to get printouts from Visual Foxpro for Windows, we are not able to get the output directly from printer when we are in the software. After we are exiting from software, the printing starts.

For each and every printout we should exit from software and again access the software. This is very tedious. Please suggest us and help us to give some tips to overcome this error.

Answer 1

To overcome this issue, you need to reinstall the printer. It's possible that the printer is having problems communicating with the software. Switch the port and re-install the drivers of the printer. Additionally, you should restart the Print Spooler service as well (Start > run > services.msc > Print Spooler > restart). If you use Windows Vista or higher, run the application as Administrator.
