I have experienced the same problem intermittently when running Rbase 4.5++ on Windows 2000 at a client's location running on Novell and printers attached to the local computers and defined as network printers. They are running an application that creates 3 reports in the same page and sometimes one of the computers will start printing them in separate pages. I have done extensive debugging, including setting the printer to print the hex code of the input stream and playing with the print manager settings, without any luck. Out of frustration, I rebooted the computer and it started printing correctly again. To this day, when they run into this problem, they reboot the computer and it starts printing correctly again. My best guess is that some application that they run changes an obscure setting in the computer/print manager. I will be curious to see if someone has a better explanation. Again, this problem happens occasionally and is not reproducible. As far as the Windows version is concerned, I had to rewrite the application to condense the 3 reports into one, one-page report (using lots of long concatenated and formatted variables) as I could not overcome the page feed issue.

All software is on the network using networked printers on Novell 5.1. It doesn't appear to matter what version of Rbase for DOS I am running. If you have a multiple report print that you want to print on the same page, Windows 2000 throws a form feed between the reports and no longer prints all reports on the same page. Has Windows 2000 taken over? or are there ways to get the DOS reports to print on one page by adjusting something in Windows 2000 or Novell?
