It seems likely such an animal would exist and would solve any of : the page print related issues (when you issue a print command, a whole page : of graphic gets sent to the printer along with the form feed) : : : : : ----- Original Message ----- : From: "Michael Sinclair" <[email protected]> : To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> : Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2012 4:29 PM : Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Printing on Preprinted peforated forms in Rbase 9.1 : : : How do you adjust the lines per page in version 9.1? : Mike : : : : On Feb 26, 2012, at 10:19 AM, "Mike Byerley" <[email protected]> wrote: : : > Dennis, : > : > Here are Sami Aaron's notes on printing Checks in 6.1/6.1A.
