I tried as you suggested, with xpp and the margins increased several points from the default 36 up to 44, to no apparent avail. I even increased the bottom margin further to 52...still lost lines. Do I have to run xpp su'd to root to make these margins changes?? The alterations I made thus far seem to have had no effect at all. I tried updating my TurboPrint driver to the latest (I think latest). No help there. Can you give further of your kind advice dear Anne? :-) TIA. --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness." -- James Thurber *********************************************** ~Linux Powered by Mandrake 9.1~ *********************************************** ~Reg.
