How do I set my FoxPro database program to print to my local and/or network printer?

Question

I have one of the earlier versions of FoxPro. Recently my computer died. Luckliy all of my foxpro data was recoverable. However, now I can't print to either our network printer or my local printer. i have tried to change my printer settings, but nothing works, and even if they did the settings don't stay when the program is closed. No one in my companies IT dept is familiar with this database program because its so old. Any help would be appreciated.

Dear Amanda...

because your software is so old...as you already mentioned your problem could be a printer driver you need install before print out any report.

Ok let's see, again. This software were working well with your past computer because those printer drivers were installed in that computer.

To fix your problem:

1) Look for the floppy disk or CD that contains the printer driver of that printer where you print on.
2) Install them following instructions on your disk or
following instructions that yo will see during installation.

Note: During installation you have to check the option to get able your computer print on MSDOS mode. Just pay attention to each windows you get.

Well, I think this is all you need.

Now, let's suppose you do not find the printer CD.

Try finding them in the internet. How?
1) go to www.yahoo.com
2) type down EPSON FX 1800 printer driver (ie)
3) open the link you think is the better to download them...
4) follow instrucctions located at the web site you download them.

and...that's it.

ok dear Amanda.. I love you..and I hope that helps you...

bye!
