I see what you are saying…
Testing some direct print code from a script, see if the printer dialog box
is the focal point.

I have done this and more variations in other apps.

#3 - all reports on this system in GUI open to screen
tried various combinations.

#4 – checking in that and what each machine has for each printer.


But remember, suddenly on all machines that got the latest (or a latest)
win10 update the problem occurs where it worked before.
When rolling back the latest update on one machine, it then worked. Cannot
roll back other machines.

MS Support was engaged and spent some time on it (I know), but they concluded
(I do not have all details):
Reset windows retaining files
or / then
a clean win10 install then install Paradox
They did seem to indicate they no issue like this, but who knows what they
actually looked at.

The odd thing is that if you open Paradox, open any object, such as a table,
form, choose interactively from menu   File-Print,;   Paradox hard closes.
I have seen MANY combinations of al sorts of OSes, builds, PDOX (all the
way back to DOS). Never seen this issue before.
