>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???

Besides using "@...SAY", you can also output to a text file with "?" and "??".
Send codes and textfile to the printer with "???".
Check your printer manual for special codes, like bold, etc.
