Printing from wine

Post by technocp »

Hello Sir,

Wine is Printing fine from notepad.exe but is not able to print from a foxpro based program which works fine otherwise.

Please throw more light on the matter and guide me for further study of the problem and rectification guide.

Thanks

Another print routine from visual foxpro works fine

Post by technocp »

I created a small routine for printing in visual foxpro 6 and it works fine in wine environment but this old foxpro 2.6 for windows based program doesn't work.

I am thinking of trying older version of ubuntu and wine will that be a right idea to check working of my program

The bug doesn't appear to be a regression, so I don't think that would help.
