Comment:
I have a printer all-in-one (Canon MPC 400) and I have not a DOS driver for that (I use FoxPro 2.6 for DOS). Is there software that will print FOXBASE under DOS to my INK JET printer ? I have to print for CANON MPC400 just text , no graphics or something like that . If somebody have a driver or a software to solve my probleme , please help me (send it to danielmuruga@yahoo.com or tell me were I find it). Thank's in advance .
