Using @ ... SAY and LIST with a PostScript Printer Driver

ID: Q93632

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0 and 2.5

The @ ... SAY commands do not use a printer driver to produce printed output.

To print to a PostScript printer, issue the SET DEVICE TO FILE <file> command. Then the application can use the @ ... SAY command to place the output in a file. After the output is in the file, issue the following commands:

   SET DEVICE TO SCREEN
   SET HEADING OFF
   TYPE <file> TO PRINTER

NOTE: The SET HEADING OFF command is also required before the LIST TO PRINTER command is used. If SET HEADING OFF is not used, PostScript exception errors can occur.
