>I am trying to gain control over the printer for the purpose of cheque printing on a laser ( probably an HP or compatible ) . I have been unable to control _plineno through the report writer and so I have had to resort to hand coding the report. This is less than attractive for although I have the cheques sort of printing properly, I am getting some escape codes printing as well. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate your help.

Carmen,
Why not use the Report Writer for this?? It is a lot simpler, and more maintainable this way.. Sending escape sequences, try using ??? and the sequences.. This will force FP to send them directly to the printer..

Thanx!
