Jeff:
My remaining client has two Okidatas, which print three different forms,
and have been for many years. (The form printing uses @...say to print.)
Our problems began when one of the OkiDatas became a network printer,
using some kind of dongle, so forms could be printed from two different
workstations.
The problems turned out to be from the Windows print drivers adding
things like line feeds and form feeds, which didn't happen when we just
sent the output to LPT1. Our solution was to use a library called
Rawprint.vcx for the network printer, which bypasses the Windows printer
drivers.
I always "print" to a temp file, then send it to the actual printer via
one of three methods in a "PrintUtil" class:
.SendtoPrint(TxtFile,PrintName) sends to a Windows (USB) printer
.SendtoLPT1(TxtFile) sends text to the parallel port
.RawPrint(TxtFile,PrintName) sends to a network printer.
Google "Rawprint". It's free and it works. If you'd like, I can send
you my PrintUtils class.

Michael: The control character sent with the ??? is to put the printer
in letter quality mode. Without it it does not print properly. The code
has to be sent with a ??? and not an @say. What I want to do is
suppress the blank pages but still send the code.
