Hello,

does anyone have any idea why a Brother HL-2030 will not print a simple 
report and a HP Deskjet will?

The Brother is just giving blank pages wheethe HP Deskjet prints the 
printout.

Nothing fancy about the printing, just using the former Clipper source (? 
'Print this, please')

The Brother is a GDI-only printer, so only output via a windows device
context (xbpPrinter) is possible - it does not support character based
output but relies on the Windows printing system rendering the output.

Thanks Thomas,

I have changed all printing from text to graphical and it's working fine 
now.

Regards,
Gert
