This is non-RBase-specific SWAG, but, could there be any "hidden" data in a field that, when sent to the printer, is interpreted by the printer as some sort of control code?
To pursue this possibility, I think you'd have to export the questionable data to ASCII and then examine with some sort of viewer that can show you the HEX codes. This is surely a lower probability cause of the problem than many others, but I wanted to throw it out there.

R:Base 6.5++ is printing about 2/3 of them, and stopping on a specific name. Thinking it may be a print buffer issue, we tried a beefier printer. Stopped on exactly the same name. Similarly, we tried printing from a different machine. Exact same result. Thinking this may be a workaround, I removed all rows from the temporary table down to the "Ps" which included the last employee printed and the two above him, leaving us with about 150 or so rows and re-ran the print job. It printed three W2s; the last employee printed and the two above him. Why won't these W2s print? I don't even know where to begin investigating this. Damon J.
