Sami:

Appreciate your code.  I could probably do this with a series
of WRITE statements because the reports aren't that complicated.
Don't care about fonts because, heck, they don't have them now!
Bill, Emmitt and others seem to think that's the way to go too.

My question is:  did you have to mess around with the printer
wanting to do a form feed at some point on its own?  I see in
your code that you're writing directly to the printer instead
of to a file -- does this work in Windows?

David:

Now you say:

wrong),

Aha!  Now there's a thought!  I have lasers set up that way, the
same printer but different copies of the driver to represent
envelopes, etc.  With some fiddling around I bet I could do that!

I see your later response to Sami that this avoids the page feed
problem too.  Thanks much!
