We are upgrading our computers to XP and I am testing our Clipper
programs on it. I have ran in to a problem with printing. When I send a
report to the printer it will print but it will continuly print the
same report over and over. It will continue this untill the spooler
uses all the availbe memory on the computer and makes it crash.

A little back ground, when I first started testing It would not print
and the program would hang and not go away. I notice most people were
having problems with Escape 4.0 so I down graded Escape to 3.0 and that
is where I am now.

Clipper 5.2
Escape 3.0

Can you do the below with no problems
set(_SET_PRINTFILE,"LPT1")
set(_SET_CONSOL,.F.)
FOR X:=1 TO 6
QQOUT("LINE TEXT"+LTRIM(STR(X)))+CHR(13)+CHR(10)
NEXT
QQOUT(CHR(12)
SET(_SET_PRINTFILE,"") // CLOSE PORT
SET(_SET_CONSOLE,.T.)
