At the moment, by doing something like this:
Pages: rejoin [
; A whole lot of lines...
"Blah blah blah..." newline
"^(page)" ; Page feed code.
; A whole lot of lines...
"Blah blah blah..." newline
"^(page)" ; Page feed code.
]
; Rebol converts 'newline to CRLF automatically in 'write.
write %Test.txt Pages
; ...and then print to printer:
write/binary %//prn read/binary %Test.txt
I'm using the above method at the moment, because I'm still testing and
writing reports. A better method that doesn't use the temporary file is
something like:
replace/all Pages newline CRLF
write/binary %//prn Pages
Caution: I haven't tested the above script!

I hadn't thought of that method. That's a good method if one's using a
non-windows PC on the network.

Rebol has defined CRLF as:
>> crlf
== "^M^/"
I hope that helps!
