hi,

i am using dbase 5 and some printer driver called hpport.pr2.
_ppitch = "condensed" works, for example, but i have no idea to which other values i can set this system variable. i have no documentation for the printer driver at all.
is there any documentation, or, does anyone have another printer driver for HP PCL that i can use to print from dbase in a DOS window? i basically need to use different fonts, sizes and to change the distance between lines.

I`m not sure, but maybe

normal
wider
narrower
ultra-condensed
extra-condensed
condensed
semi-condensed
semi-expanded
expanded
extra-expanded
ultra-expanded

(ppitch = printer pitch = Zeilenabstand)
