	Subject: Printer Set-Up
	
	
	I am embarrassed to ask this question but setting up printers in filePro
is not something my work required I do more times than I have fingers on one
hand - so I need a little help since I have done everything I understand to do
and still cannot print.
	 
	I have a Dell Inspiron 1150 portable computer and a Dell #922 (Photo All
In One) Printer.  Printing from EXCEL, Word and all other printing tried thus
far works fine.
	 
	The port used is of the USB type.
	 
	I have created a printer named 'dillon'; used 4P-HP as the printer type
(for the sake of choosing one); entered USB1 for destination file (where I used
lpt1 before USB ports available) (when I used lpt1 I got the error message of
'cannot open printer').  I have also marked it as the Default Printer.
	 
	When I do HardCopy or Request a Report nothing happens.  With doing a
full report (vs Hardcopy) everything goes as expected with the menu re-appearing
on the screen but nothing prints.
	 
	Any suggestions to better what I have mentioned (defined/selected) above
not to mention make it work would be very much appreciated.
	 
	Two problems I often encountered in the past and hope to avoid this time
are:
	 
	1.  printout (Hardcopy or a Report) never ejected the final page fully -
I had to press the eject button on the printer
	2.  printing on pages subsequent to page one started further down on
each page
	 
	THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!

If this is a windows only printer and you are running native, you have some
other choices.

Install RTF printing from fp Tech.
