Re: [sqr-users] Help! SQR mysteriously prints extra pages!

["Mark Hall" <Mark.Hall@parkview.com>]

When you say printing past the end of the page do you mean vertically or
horizontally? Thanks for your help.

Mark,

The problem is that you are attempting to print past the 
end of the page, so the HP printer is adding a newline after
each print attempt.

I don't recall the exact escape sequence that you need to 
send the printer, but it's the one that defines the printable
area of the page.  Since you're printing past the printable
area, the printer thinks you want to start the NEXT text on 
a fresh page.
