Basically, I think that is easy here: Just send a Return when the "last" row has been reached, and it will leave the printing and start a new page.
Still, you have to define the number of page to be printed in order to be able to start printing. That makes it somewhat... errr.... ;) Rolf Am 03.02.2016 16:05, schrieb Roel Touwen: > Hi Rolf, > > In my software I print invoice, lists, whatever.....
