It seems that when printing labels with Paradox with (now) both A Seiko
SLP100 and an Avery Label printers it crashes the program with "General
Protection Violation" with "OK" and "Abort" buttons.

This was happening on a clients pc and I've attached both printers to
two other pc's, and now my own, and the same error occurs.

It does not occur using labels on any other standard printer; nor does
it happen using these printers in applications other Paradox.

Any Suggestions??

I say it's incompatibility with the printer driver. Do you have the
language
guide to the printer? Maybe you can use TEXTSTREAM to send the stuff
to it manually.

It prints everything (or so the support guide at the website says) as a BMP
image. But the point that puzzling is that just selecting "Print" (from a
self-designed menu), which is prior to the standard Windows Select
Printer/Pages/Copies screen, causes a crash.

Could this be caused by the Paradox Label Template?

Try designing a report with a custom page size that fits, and put some
text
on it... As you're not using a label template, that can't be a problem,
right?

Here's some strange behavior that might shed some light on the problem. If
I print
the report form design mode it does not cause the crash.

I've coded my query to switch to design mode when opening the report,
automatically printing. The only problem is that when the printer is set to
landscape
mode (in Printer Properties) it states "printer fonts have changed.....".
It's odd since
I've got PrinterOptions/Orientation set to landscape in my code yet the
printer (and
only this printer) refuses to accept the ladnscape command and needs to
manually
changed each time.
