Deskjet in network (HP 843C) fails

[SYN]

Does anyone recognize this problem:

Printing to a HP 843 fails in a network (shared W9X network)
with foxpro 2.5. Papers are ejected without ejectcommand, blank 'holes' appears in the text ect....
The same printcommand used with a Deskjet 540 works just fine. So it's the printer (or the sharing workstation)! My question is if someone recognize this problem and where I can find more specific information.

Thanks

Hi,
the problem could be in the default width of the paper used. If FoxPro sends, let us say 80 col width and the printer has only 78 col width, then you will get a line feed and as consequence, you could make mistakes with page feed etc.. This comment is only off my head and I havent tested with the said printer.
Best of luck

I know that kind of problems. No, this is 'random' problem. When I print the same document several times, a couple are good, others are 'different' bad.

Make sure the printer driver for the 843 is installed on all workstations using this printer, and also make sure you open the report and save it with the 843 as the default printer in the 'Page Setup' dialog.
