Paul, some clarifications are in order. First of all, a page printer is one that will only print a page at a time as opposed to a character or a line at a time. All laser printers and most inkjet printers are page printers. Your HP is a page printer. They are a PITA when doing things in the command window or testing code such as yours because you always have to close the page before they will print (i.e. send an FF or press a button on the printer). Finally, my "argument"* does hold for printers because printers have a default font. The font clauses in the print statements cause the same layout problems for printers as they do for screens. Of course on a line printer, everything would work fine. So go get an OKI dot-matrix. *I was not passing judgment on how things work, only reporting what I experienced when making changes to your code. You should refer to my words as an explanation, not an argument.
