The printer driver is activated.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, and 2.6 for Windows. This problem was corrected in FoxPro version 2.6a for Windows.
MORE INFORMATION
FoxPro for Windows normally uses the Windows Print Manager to control printed output. However, by using FoxPro for MS-DOS printer drivers, you can control printed output generated by the ?/?? commands. To do this, you must first create the printer driver in FoxPro for MS-DOS. You can then use the SET PDSETUP TO command in FoxPro for Windows to activate the printer driver.
When you activate such a printer driver using the following command
SET PDSETUP TO “TESTPD”
the GP fault may occur in these situations:
When you attempt to print a report using the printer driver.
-or-
When you quit FoxPro and attempt to run it again.
