Or if you use a "Generic/Text only" printer driver. It's many years since I threw out all my dot matrix printers, but I know for sure that I used VFP5 or VFP6. I also had to use the character translation feature of the "Generic/Text only" printer driver in order to print some special norwegian characters. It was a true PITA. :-)

>>What you can do, is redirect the EJECT character to a file, and then delete this file:
>>set printer on
>>? "Invoice No.:"+invno
>>? "Client code:"+cusno
>>? "Client name:"+cusname
>>...
>>set printer off
>>set printer to file dummy.xxx
>>EJECT && to force the eject
>>set printer to
>>erase dummy.xxx
