I see. It has been a long time I haven't used set print on/off commands.
I think you could create a simple report with just one memo field and print from it (a dummy grouping and start each group on a new page would do it).

Note that in the message I pointed in previous reply doesn't use ODBC. Instead it uses a tab delimited file.
