Define page length to 60 lines and issue a FORM FEED at the end of each page. This works for ALL printers. If, however, your dealing with lables you want all lables on a page to get printed on. The only way to deal with this have the user specify something to indicate what they need. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Jay @ SAC-UNIX, Sacramento, Ca. pacbell!sactoh0!jak jak@sactoh0 If something is worth doing, it's worth doing correctly.
