>I have a client using an Epson LX300+ with a tractor feed. The continuous form paper he is using is 9.5" wide by 5.5" long. I have created a custom form for this paper and checked it out in Word. I compiled the report specifically using the printer driver and this form. Previewing it on a PC without the actual printer shows the report as expected. Of course when it is run on the target machine it all falls apart and I get a full (11") form feed no matter what I do. Any suggestions?

The dot-matrix printers print faster, anyway, if you print in text mode. You can send printer codes to set the page-length, and then send an entire text file to the printer, with the ??? command:
??? lcPrinterCodes + FileToStr("output.txt")You can use CodeRep (from the download section), to help you in generating the text output, while maintaining many options you expect from a report, such as data grouping.
