Jon,
You can checkout the file
lazarus\components\printers\design\sourceprinter.pas. It works for windows
and linux.

Subject: [lazarus] I can't print more than one page
Hi guys!
I am using FPC 2.0.4 (rpm from FPC) with Lazarus 0.9.20 (rpm from lazarus)
on i386 Linux. I'm using the printers unit to produce a report. All works
as expected on the first page. When I use the newpage() function to begin
another page any use of the canvas.textout() function associated with my
printer object fails to produce text. Yet canvas.LineTo() works. So on the
second page all I get is lines without any text.
If I take out the newpage() call I get all of the text from my test pages
overlapped on the same page. So I know my code is requesting the text
output in the right places. If I EndDoc(), BeginDoc() then I get the
consecutive pages albeit through a lot of print jobs. This doesn't work
real well for me because I'm using my printers duplexing. Besides if the
printer, which is networked, is busy then other jobs get injected between
my pages.
In an attempt to get it to put text on the second page I've tried to
canvas.MoveTo(0, 0) and reset my canvas.font.{name,size,color} properties.
None of these things have actually produced text on the second page.
Help?
TIA-Jon
