I 'm trying to send a printout to an old Okidata printer (dot matrix) that uses preprinted forms of 8.5 in x 3.5 in, this preprinted forms are attached one after the other one for tractor feed. I been developing this application on a regular PC with VFP50. The problem happens when trying to print continuos forms the first three forms are ok and from there all the forms are off, seems like the printer still "thinking" that after every 11 in ( which is the letter paper size )should jump to the next page ignoring that is a tractor feed form...

I had designed this report using the drivers for that printer and also specifiying a custom size of 8.5 x 3.5 in...

thanks !!
