Fred: I am using a prg with @says, not an frx. I failed miserably
using frx's on dot matrix printers and I have had good luck with this
method.

Can you put a function call in the report that all it does is issue the
proper ??? command, so that code is part of the report output, instead of a
separate print job?

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.
Thanks,

They printed fine even tho you didn't send the control characters? Are
they perhaps unneeded?

I have been printing carbonless forms using VFP for some time. The
problem I have been having is that there are two pages wasted on each job.
One at the beginning and one at the end. The one at the beginning is
caused by a ??? Letter Quality Mode control character sent to the printer
to put it in letter quality mode. I have tried everything and we have
discussed this before. Many people have wrestled with the same problem
with no solution.
But today I noticed something that may help get the answer. I printed
an invoice with the printer turned off. When I went to the printer control
panel I noticed 3 jobs. Here is what I saw:
Pages
Menu Bar 1 680 bytes
FoxPro User-defined Job N/A 1.83K
Menu Bar 1 680 bytes
I deleted the two Menu Bar pages and the FoxPro User-defined Job printed
perfectly with no blank pages. The Menu Bar jobs are the blank pages.
Now, any ideas on how to print the blank pages without them going to the
printer?
