>I tried what you sent and as far as sending reverse line feeds it just does not seem to work for me. I may not be set up correctly, but when I tried your code sometimes it did a page eject, sometimes nothing, sometimes put something in the spooler. Do you have a complete piece of code you could post?? Thanks.


SET PRINTER TO blah
??? some string of characters, which can contain control sequences
??? some other string of characters, which can contain control sequences
SET PRINTER TO NUL:
EJECT
SET PRINTER TO

You cannot insert a report in the midst of this, since it's a separate stream. IOW, this does not work to serve as a bypass of the GDI; the minute youstart sending through the GDI interface, it's a separate job, and Windows will do whatever it thinks it needs to do to reset the printer to a known state.
