Jim,
the thing with the dot matrix paper length may be a hardware detection of the page length. Some Dot matrix machines I dealt with in the past had the as a configuration option. In most cases you could send an initialization string to the printer to turn that off. In some cases it had a hardware switch to be adjusted.

Hope that helps.

>I have an app that prints reports to a dot matrix with custom size form-fed reports. I designed the reports on my machine at home where I only have a laser printer. At the customer site I have setup the Dot Matrix to use a Custom size layout, but it still wants to feed the next form through the printer halfway (thinking it's 11 inches). Do I need to remove the printer driver info (DEVICE=HPLaser Jet, PAPERSIZE=1) from the .FRX as it is referring to my HP laserjet?

>The printer font quality gets reset as well every time I print. I want it to be draft quality but it prints NLQ. Does this have to do with the 'YResolution=300' setting in the .FRX expression field? If not, what else could reset the print quality? When I run an old DBase report to this same printer it doesn't reset the print quality so it must be in my app.
