Pl. check the printer manual for the code to be sent to the printer. Each printer normally follows ESC/P (EPSON sequence, for the Dot Matrix printers, or the HP sequence for laserjet/deskjet series.

They will contain a code to initialise the printer which needs to be invoked thru the program to clear the print buffer.
