First of all, it's very important that you tell us which version you use.

Secondly, I suggest that you don't do it this way, I suggest that you use the report writer. But, if you use a dot matrix printer, the report writer is not easy to use. In thsi case I suggest that you print to a file, and then copy the file to the printer. Something like this

set alternate to dummy.txt
set console off
set alternate on
@  7,8 say "Date"
@  8,8 say "Payee Name"
@ 10,8 say "Amount In Words"
set alternate off
set alternate to
set console on
copy file dummy.txt tp lpt1:

>It prints ok, but the problem is that it shows 1 of 2 pages in the printer's document(s) in queue (Spooling Printing) when it suppose to be only 1 page. This cause the other documents not being printed until you delete the previous documents that says it has a second page where it suppose to have NO 2nd page, or you quit the program/application then the document on queue will be deleted.
