Are you sure FF doesnt work? open#3; 'par': bput#3; 12 should throw a page. On some printers you need to pass some data before an FF will work, such as: open#3; 'par': bput#3; 10, 12 Experiment! If that works, the equivalent command from Archive would be something like: lprint chr(0)+chr(12) (You need the leading chr(0) to bypass Archive's penchant for filtering out non-print characters) Regarding another problem, mentioned by Dilwyn, about the printer not starting to print a long document before the channel is closed, it just may be down to a setting in the PC's printer configuration dialog. Check the following (PC side): Start/Settings/Printers Right click the printer you want to configure and select Properties. Select the Advanced tab. Check the Start Printing Immediately radio button, an' Bob's yer aunt's live-in lover.
