Napoleon,

Your Epson print thinks that the paper size is 11 inches. So when a page break code gets to the printer, it form feeds whatever distance is left to make up the 11 inches.

What I would do, is make sure in the FoxPro report designer, you setup the printer with the proper page size and save the report.

The second thing is to change the printer so the print knows what size of page you want to print (It dosen't matter if it is 3 inches, just as long as the printer knows). This can either be done in the printer driver on the machine that is hooked up to the printer or on the printer itself.

You can't stop FoxPro from sending a page break code from a standard report (at least that I know of), but you can get the printer to only form feed the distance to your next form.

P.S. Your report should be just a line or two smaller than the size of the page. If the report is the same size as the form and the page sizes are all set, some printers will form feed to the next form, leaving a blank form in between.

Rob.
