{| = PRB: Print Job Does Not Print Until FoxPro for UNIX Is Exited =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q121133

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for UNIX, version 2.6

SYMPTOMS
When a print job is sent to the printer, it does not print until you quit FoxPro.

RESOLUTION
Make sure that the system memory variable _PRN has the following string assigned to it:

-d -s For example, you could do this by issuing the following command SET PRINTER TO "lp -dpost -s" where "lp" is the UNIX spooler command and "post" is the name of the destination printer. "lpr" is also a valid UNIX spooler command. The -s option suppresses the display of the identification number of each print request.

Alternative
In some circumstances, issuing a "SET PRINT TO" (without the quotation marks) immediately after a REPORT FORM command causes the print job to begin.
