Hi. I've built an exe that allows the user to print reports to a printer. When the reports are printed to a new Lexmark LAN printer, the reports that have no data are not printed, but on an older local Okidata OL-400e, the reports with no info come out as blank pages. How do I get the blank pages to quit printing on the Okidata? Or is the printer to old to be completely compatible with Fox 6.0?
Thanks, Dix
 
The problem could be in the printer driver compatibility. OKIDATA OL400 can be set to emulate HP3SI and so you can use the HP3Si printer driver. I suspect that the printer driver sent by the OS to the printer is causing a page feed, since the driver you might have used may not be the correct one. Hope this solves your problem :) ramani :-9
