If you do the printing through the Windows printing system, it will always print whole pages. This requires an eject!

If you want to print in text mode, use my Download #9991, in the downloads section. This should give you full control over all aspects of printing in text mode.

Or simply send printer codes and text directly to the printer with "???". This will bypass the Windows printing system, and you have full control over ejects. (This is the method used in my report class, mentioned above).

HTH, Hilmar.
