WINDOWS PRINTING BUG

[FRUSTRATED!]

When I set up VS to use a fixed width font with my dot matrix printer so
that it will send ASCII characters to the printer and speed up printing, VS
sends the first three or four lines as ASCII characters and then just starts
sending binary data that the printer can't print. Nothing more of the
listing gets printed. If I switch to the Generic/Text-Only printer driver,
then VS sends the first three or four lines as ASCII characters and then
just stops sending anything else!
There is something really wrong with Visual Studio and character oriented
printing. It isn't a problem with the printer and doesn't appear to be a
problem with the driver since it happens with several different printer
drivers. Does anyone know what is wrong and/or how to fix it or get around
it?

You have posted this at least twice before (and have been answered). No one
is going to email you (except the spammers whose lists you are now,
invariably, on).

Please return and read the replies to all previous posts.

Dear Miss Perspicacia Tick,
I have read all the previous replies, several times. Not one of them made a
suggestion that I had not already tried. I'm still trying to find someone
that actually knows what the problems is, as you obviously don't. I am
neither blind nor stupid, which you evidently think I am. If you don't have
anything useful to add, then don't make snide remarks.

It could be a printer problem. Check its Properties and reset them to
Factory Settings. Reinstalling the printer and its drivers quite often solve
this type of problem due to a corrupt file or driver. If that doesn't work,
try your Visual Studio configuration for settings.
