Clipper Print problems

| I've has a Clipper 5.2 program that I've been using since the late
80's. All of a sudden, the print routines have gone wacky. It puts
additional lines in the print stream or doesn't advance to the next
line. I've tried re-compiling the code and it won't compile. Help!

Be sure you have updated to 5.2e.

What changed? Operating system "upgade", restored from back ups,
new printer, or what?

Sounds like you might have a driver update from Micro$haft.

Separate problem. What third party libs did you use?
xharbour.org compiles native Clipper code pretty easily, makes a
Windoze native 32-bit application, and has lots of printer
features.

In addition to David's questions, I suggest that you try printing to a
file, examine the file and then copy it to the printer to see if it is
the application or the environment that is at fault. But this of
course requires that your second problem is solved first:

We need a lot more info to determine what is wrong here. Does it hang
(possibly hardware problems or messed up file system) or does it give
you fatal error messages?
Have you moved to a new computer since your last successful build or
have you moved things around so the compiler/linker environment has
changed? If you type PATH and SET LIB etc, do you get the expected
response? Please post as much detail as you can.
Regards,
Klas
