Hi Mark ---

I wrote a POS in old FP 2.0 and 2.6 using Epson Star receipt printers....they were a pain and the excess line feed was something that was a bitch to overcome. Anyhow, forget Win drivers and the Report engine.....you're gonna want to send each line individually and then send a few blank lines and then send the Cut command. At the same time you have to send a command to reset the number of lines printed so that you don't get ghost formfeeds. Sorry I can't be more help but it's been *years*.
