SUMMARY

In FoxPro for Windows, the SET PDSETUP TO <driver_name> command selects only an existing MS-DOS style printer driver. It cannot edit an existing MS- DOS style printer driver or create a new one.

MORE INFORMATION

To use the SET PDSETUP TO <driver_name> command in FoxPro for Windows, the current resource file (by default FOXUSER.DBF and its associated memo file, FOXUSER.FPT) must already have an MS-DOS style printer driver loaded. This MS-DOS style printer driver must have been previously created by FoxPro for MS-DOS.

FoxPro for Windows normally uses Windows printer drivers for all its printing. Windows printer drivers are changed through the Windows Control Panel.

Only use the SET PDSETUP TO <driver_name> command with character-based reports that were created in FoxPro for MS-DOS.

NOTE: The SET PDSETUP <driver_name> command has no effect on Windows printer drivers.
