Hi Tim, Close - But not quite there yet :-(
Having problems printing 2nd and subsequent pages on the line flow forms and I guess I'm missing a required setting. Wondering if something will jump out at you? The report in question (for dos straight to printer setting) has the following item 7 Print margins T=0 B=3 L=0 and Lines = 48. With that setting the form prints out via dpspool but there is no page break - it prints continuously till end of report (Which is how it looks in DP Spool Print Manager). So if I'm following your instructions correctly the Bottom Margin must always be set to zero. I change the Item 7 Print Margin settings to T=0 B=O L=0 and Lines = 51. The report viewed in DPSpool now looks like it should, some hard returns at the correct place between pages and more hard returns for the page eject at the end of the report, but in printing the printer stops printing at the correct place at bottom of page one - rolls up correctly and then stops printing - full stop. The rest of the report disappears. When Dos printing it can be viewed in the NT spooler print files (looks just like it prints) but via dpspool its now in windows graphics characters so viewing the print file via NT spooler its impossible to see what got thru that far (for me anyway :-). So, I can't check whether its being lost within the NT spooler or within the printer itself. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong or an obvious setting that I need to check.
