PRB: Unable to Generate Printer DriverID: Q103830 2.00 2.5x 2.60 2.60a | 2.5x 2.60 2.60a MS-DOS | WINDOWS kbprint kbprb The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSYou receive this error: "Unable to generate printer driver." CAUSEThis error most often occurs because GENPD.APP cannot be located or is not installed. Other reasons for this error are low memory or an invalid or inactive FOXUSER.DBF file. RESOLUTIONTo correct this problem, set _GENPD= to the location of the GENPD.APP file (specify the full path to the file). For example: _GENPD="C:\FOXPRO2\GENPD.APP" If that doesn't work, use the following troubleshooting steps: 1. Check SYS(2005) and SET RESOURCE ON to validate that a FOXUSER.DBF file is being used and is available. 2. Since printer drivers use conventional memory, check the amount of conventional memory available. If user-defined procedures are being used, at least 95K of conventional memory is required. 3. Check the availability of FOXSWAP.COM. If you are using FoxPro version 2.0 for MS-DOS, also check for PROAPI16.EXE. 4. If you are running the Extended (32-bit) version of FoxPro, make sure DOSMEM=ON is not in the CONFIG.FP file. MORE INFORMATIONThe files GENPD.APP and DRIVER2.PLB are required for printer driver setups. It is not enough to just have the files in the MS-DOS search path. The files MUST reside in the same directory as the executable file. If this requirement is not met, the application will fail with the "Unable to generate printer driver" error message.
