I want to print a report directly to the dot-matrix printer and I want to control the lenght of the print by line feed.
But when I try to print 2 or more copies even the printer is set to 12"(ex.) the next copy is moved about 2 or 3 lines because of form feed of the windows and after the last copy it prints like an empty page (after SET PRINTER TO).

There is a way to bypass the windows form feed and to control the lenght page by line feed ?

I use a code like :

******************************
_padvance="linefeed"
cPrinter = GETPRINTER()
SET PRINTER TO NAME (cPrinter)

FOR lpage_printing = 1 TO lnbr_pages_to_print

SET PRINTER ON
SET CONSOLE OFF
SET PRINTER FONT 'Courier',10

? "This is the first line"
?
? "This is the third line"

SET PRINTER OFF

ENDFOR

SET PRINTER TO
SET CONSOLE ON

*******************************************
