        Given that you are using RBase for Windows there are several ways I
can think of to overcome this problem:
        1)  Create a PAGEMODE report which can be written to a file which
is
then copied to the printer.
        2)  Use write statements to mimic the report and write them to a
file which is then copied to the printer.
        3)  Write the report output to a table, then write the table
contents to a file and copy the file to the printer.
        All of these methods bypass the Windows print control system and
also allow for insertion of printer control codes.

Did you experiment what  happen if at the same time an other windows
process prints thru the windows printer's manager ?
(mixing or not ?),

Do you COPY with RBW COPY command, or with DOS COPY (ZIP command.com /c
COPY ... ).
