Richard,

You may want to have a look at xHarbour's PrintFileRaw() function.

Hi,

Richard,

I found the note below in my archives. I don't know if it will help.

If it doesn't help, perhaps you can contact Kleyber for help.

Also, there is a FW function escape() for sending escape codes to the printer.

Evans,

Try putting this line in your main prg before open any databases.

xHd := GetPrintDefault( GetActiveWindow() )

Hi,

Thank you i will have a look at this function. Though i use fw printing, i will check if both can work together (this is my problem)

Thank you James,

I will try Escape (hopefully it is in my old fwh printdc.c), i can not use recent fwh print because of easypreview !
Hopefully we get a possibility of emailing PDf direct from fwh's preview, so I will not need easypreview anymore.

Best regards

Richard

Richard,

Your printdc.c surely has Escape().

Have a look at this example, maybe can help you.

I use them both in a FWH project of mine, so, yes, they can work together (one after the other).
