SYMPTOMS
Under Windows 95 or Windows 98, when an Outlook mail message is printed, any printing output from Visual FoxPro using @...SAY is light-colored. This problem does not occur under Windows NT nor does it occur with all printers.



RESOLUTION
If you use a Hewlett-Packard printer, send a reset code to the printer using ??? CHR(27) + CHR(69). Please refer to the printer's manual for the reset code of other printers.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 While running Windows 95 or Windows 98, print an Outlook mail message.  From FoxPro, print text by running the following code: * ??? ""               && Open the printer in RAW mode. * ??? CHR(27)+CHR(69)  && Unremark this and the above line to fix. SET DEVICE TO PRINTER @ 1,1 SAY "This is a test." SET DEVICE TO SCREEN SET PRINTER TO
