Dear All
 
I recently completed conversion of a very old R:Base System V application to the redoubtable glorious R:Base 6.5++.  The client is thrilled with the application. There is just ONE issue to be solved.
 
In the application, which is a summer day camp program in Maine, printing is done to an Okidata 370 Turbo dot matrix printer because they need to print receipts on carbon paper.  One of the "reports" generated by the system is actually created by a series of WRITE commands sandwiched between OUTPUT PRINTER and OUTPUT SCREEN. 
 
When I run this report on my system (Windows 95 and an HP LaserJet Series II printer, hooked up as local printer) it prints the page and does a form feed. When he runs it on WIndows 98 or Millenium, under a Windows peer to peer network, with the printer set up as a network printer, it prints the page, and does TWO form feeds, wasting a full set of carbon paper. Doesn't matter which work station he prints from.
 
When he runs this under the old System V application, in a DOS window under the same Windows 98 or Millenium to the same printer, it doesn't even do ONE form feed, which is really what he wants.
 
Any ideas?  Is there a setting somewhere in R:Base, Windows, or Peer to Peer, or the printer that we can change to give him what he wants?
