Instead of using the Generic DOS Text Printer, I send a text-file (preceded by special printer codes) directly to the printer with "???".
For Epson dot-matrix printers, the code for page-length is (assuming you want 66 lines per page):
chr(27) + "C" + chr(66)For other page-lengths, substitute the number in the last chr().
