Does the Xbase Runtime Viewer that is included with Infinity still required LPT1 as its only printer output location?____If so, is there recommended approach when creating/saving reports for inclusion with applications so they run on Windows XP through Windows 7 and can print to the various HP Multifunction devices - Printer/Fax in addition to traditional printers>

No, we have not attempted that - we have historically grabbed the default Windows Printer by name and inserted it into RI_WPTR field in a dbf called control.dbf. ____I have 2 apps.. the one in question lets the user select from the printers installed from a list, and the passes the name to the control file. Another grabs the default printer and inserts it.____
