>I am using VFP 3.0 and I need to print, on a dot matrix printer, a document (like a bill at Point of Sale (POS)) in default DOS printing mode (high speed as if printed from DOS). VFP has given one command 'set printer to' to print in default DOS mode. This works fine, but the only problem is that when first '???' command is encountered in the program, the printer SKIPS the full page length of paper. After that it would print normally i.e. no further skipping with '???'. Can someone guide me out of this imbroglio. Big thanx in advance...

Don't know if the following is of any help - but is the printer networked (even if its connected to the local PC) - I've had this problem when networked printer was set to automatically issue form feed before & after printing - it was a network issue, not FP.
