We have an old legacy application that was written in FoxPro many years ago (company long out of business). When running reports from this application, it uses your default printer and does not allow selection of a printer. The reports appear to sense the default printer's capabilities and adjust report formatting based on the printer driver. In a particular report, it normally prints in two columns per page when choosing an HP PCL5 or PCL6 driver. We are new Laserfiche customers, and trying to use Snapshot printing from this legacy application. When running the same report to the Snapshot printer driver, what would normally come out as one page utilizing two columns is coming out as two pages, each with one column.
Is there some way to setup the Snapshot driver so that the legacy application thinks it is dealing with a PCL5 or PCL6 printer?
Unfortunately this legacy report outputs a single print job per student rather than all students in a single report, so printing 1000 student transcripts generates 1000 individual print jobs rather than one print job with 1000+ pages, so outputting to the Acrobat Printer and then pushing into Laserfiche offers significant challenges as well.
Thanks in advance!
