>I am trying to print a report to a tractor feed, 4 part, pre-printed form using Windows drivers but a courier font native to the printer. We need fast output and multiple page capabilities on a dot matrix printer without manual re-alignment. You would think this is easy, but I have been wrestling with our Lexmark 2490 forms printer, and either the printer or Fox continues to randomly shorten pages. At this point, I would rather use a printer I know can work. Recommendations???

Just a suggestion, and may not work in all situations, but for all my reports that need specific spacing for printing on dot matrix printers, I use "@ .. SAY" to a text file and send the textfile to a printer port, either local or mapped network. This way, I always have control of what goes where on teh page, as well as keeping a constant number of lines printed per page. You have the added bonus of being able to include printer control codes including teh escape characters.

This has worked very well for me when printing on labels and printing on multipart forms for Canpar and other similar situations.
