Hi

The only way I know of doing this reliably is to use @ Say or ??? to send the printer codes and text directly to the printer. It also works under XP. I have found that printer drivers do not always allow you to set the page length and even if they do sometimes the setting is ignored. Also printing is much faster using ??? versus a Windows printer driver. When clients are printing invoices etc. they do not want to wait forever for an invoice to be printed.
