Another Printing Report Problem

[Ams]

Hi All,
Another Printing Report Problem. I'm Using FPD2.6. I have written a program to print report. Printing Starts with the command "SET DEVICE TO PRINT". Then I use variable denoting row number to print. The whole report is perfect. The only hitch is that, the printer ejects before starting printing thus leaves one page blank. I have tried _PEJECT="NONE", in and outside "PRINTJOB-ENPRINTJOB" structure, but it doesnt work.
What else can I try.

Please Advise


Thanks

Regards
Ams

There is a "Page eject before printing" in the report page layout options dialog. Have you unchecked that?

Ams,
similarly "Page eject AFTER printing"
set off may me solve your preceding problem (halfpage)...

But In this case I'm not using Report Writer ....

What are you using to send output to the printer, ?, ??, ??? or @...SAY?
Maybe you could post a code sample.

I assume you are using @...SAY's? If you specify a coordinate in the @...SAY that is lower than the location specified in the most previous @...SAY, then Foxpro will issue a page eject automatically. I usually use ?/?? for printing, so I am not sure how to reset the internal line counter, but take a look at _PLINENO.

I'm using @..Say, but as I've stated, the problem is only , Page Eject Before Printing, not in between ..

But if your first @...SAY says something like @ 0,0 SAY ...,
and the printer is positioned at 1,1, you will get an eject.
For instance. When I first start up Foxpro, _PCOLNO = 55 and _PLINENO = 59.
If you try to print something at column 0, it will advance to the next row 0, column 0. Which is the next page.
