Merry Christmas all - I have been rather quiet of late, but could not miss this one !!
Bill - the problem below that the Epson inkjets only start printing when you reach the bottom of the page - in this instance, although you only printed one line (out of 66), as soon as you do OPEN #3,par again, it closes the parallel port, which tells the printer that it has reached the end of the print job. The answer is to send a Form Feed character at the bottom of each page if you are not sending more than 66 lines to the printer...
