HP 1300, frx and *****.**

I've got a report that work well almost in any printer except in HP1300. I get ***** instead of the numeric field.

I think there is a problem between VFP and the printer. Does anyboyd experience something similar???

Thanks

That usually happens when your report object isn't wide enough to print the
entire contents of a numeric field. "Wide enough" will vary from printer to
printer. Sometimes, adding just one extra pixel of width is enough to fix
things like this.

Hi Mariano:

I believe Dan's answer will fix the problem, but if it does not, you might
want to remove the printer driver information from the Expr, Tag, and Tag2
fields. Here is an article that shows how to do this:

I hope this helps.

Are you using an unusual font?

Hiya Mariano -
just because that printer is used - doesn't mean you have to use *THAT*
printer driver.
Try a different printer driver first ....
