At my office I print reports (17) from a VFP6 application to a HP Desk-Jet 1000C printer. The print jobs (all 17) leave the application (I know this because of a dialog box)and the printer starts printing. However, the printing stops about half way thru the third report. I can do nothing to continue printing. I brought the database home and did the same thing with my printer (HP Desk-Jet 5550). It printed all 17 reports.
Obviously something is wrong at the office.
Can anybody help.
Bill

Print spooling can play up if there are a large number of files in the Windows Temp folder. Try cleaning out this folder.

What is the exact configuration you have at work? Networked or standalone? If networked, how? If you dont have this sorted mail me with more details and I'l try to help.

We got another printer and it solved the problem. Probably driver but a new printer was an easy solution.
We are networked on a MS peer to peer.
Printing to the printer as a local printer from the same computer.
