I am using 4.5++ DOS version on XP. (we are working on rewriting our applications and converting to 6.5 Win ). I can print from R:base to my printer. My problem is it keeps releasing the report to the printer sometimes line by line. A report that should be 1 page ends up being 4 pages with just a few lines on each page. I have increased the wait time in rbase,cfg to 300 without much help. Does anyone know a way around this or an optimum wait time so the report is released all at one time?
