Solved "Printer is not Ready" Error has recently appeared Posted on 2009-11-03 FoxPro 2 Verified Solutions 7 Comments 2,264 Views Last Modified: 2012-06-27 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/909283 Hello All, I am having a mysterious printing issue that has recently popped up. The nut of the issue is that whenever I issue a SET PRINTER TO... command and then a SET DEVICE TO PRINT, I get the "Printer is not ready" error when trying to print using an @ Say command. This happens in all instances: 1.From my compiled program on any https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24869491/Printer-is-not-Ready-Error-has-recently-appeared.html PC (including my development one) 2.From the command line on my development PC 3.When running a program natively on my development PC I am running Windows XP SP3 and am developing using VFP 9.0 SP2 This was not a problem before, but it has suddenly appeared. I have updated code and recompiled and distributed it before I realized that this printing was an issue. Now all of my computers running the compiled program are experiencing the same issue. I don't know what has changed or what could possibly have the effect of removing the communication to the printer. The good news is that it works just fine on another PC (XP SP3, VFP SP2) that I have the development program installed on. It runs the program fine and works fine from the command line. This means that the problem is not the code, but something about VFP on my main development box. From what I can see, both development PCs have the same VFP patch level. This happens regardless of which printer I choose, a local directly connected printer, one on an IP port, or one of my Netware printers (which i

As I suspected, this is an old DOS-era setting that was probably officially "dropped" with the move to FoxPro for Windows - (when FoxPro stopped using its own native printer driver and began to use the Windows Print Spooler instead) and it has certainly never made it into any of the setting information for Versions 2.6 onward - though the help file does mention it in the context of the Error message right up to Version 9.0. > > If it works it will not be the first time that VFP has proven its amazing backward-compatibility capabilities. I hope it does the job for you but I fear that it may not because I suspect it is only relevant in DOS versions of FoxPro - though if it does solve the problem you MUST let us know because that could be a really useful "undocumented" feature.> > Regards> Andy Kramek> Microsoft MVP (Visual FoxPro)> Tightline Computers Inc, Akron Ohio, USA ENTIRE THREAD Printer Not Ready Posted by Jill Lindgren @ 2/12/2007 11:09:27 PM RE: Printer Not Ready Posted by David Hall @ 2/13/2007 11:39:52 AM RE: Printer Not Ready Posted by Andy Kramek @ 2/13/2007 12:15:09 PM RE: Printer Not Ready Posted by Jill Lindgren @ 2/13/2007 1:49:40 PM RE: Printer Not Ready Posted by Andy Kramek @ 2/13/2007 3:10:58 PM RE: Printer Not Ready
