we are sending a string to a lpr using 

FILE *prn = popen ( "lpr","w");

finally we do a pclose()

this routine get called for some asynchronous event. 

the problem is that after every close or new open (  i dont know ) the lpr 
gives a page feed  ( or form feed ) and runs to the next page. 

now the stuff we are printing is 5 lines long i dont want the whole page to 
go waste.. how do i stop this from happening. 

i tried keeping FILE *ptr as extern but it does not work  
( should it work, ?? ) 

HELP !!!
