Perhaps you could solve it by tweaking your page size parameters, such as your 
Heading size, Footing size, max-columns, max-lines, (or maybe you box sizes are 
too deep/wide relative to those settings). Better yet, try DEcreasing your 
bottom and top margins and see if that gets any more data on there. 
Sounds like you've defined your report bigger than the page can handle. Sum up 
the total size of your heading, footing, and body, and see if it's more than 
the page, which is my guess.

By all means please let me know how you solved this problem.  I am not
having any luck myself.  The only thing I've heard that makes sense is
that in order to print the graphics, boxes in my case, binary data is
being sent to the printer and that this binary data is being factored
into the line count by the printer and causing it to eject extra pages. 
I was told, as I understand it,  that I need to inform the printer, or
the spooler, that I am sending binary data and to add code to the sqr to
handle the pagination.  I can handle the pagination part but as far as
telling the printer, or the spooler, not to worry about the binary data
I haven't a clue.

Mark,

I understand your pain. I have gone thru this years

to fix it .. Unbelievable but it will work ..

Need more info send me an e-mail

I am totally stumped on this one.  DDP003P.SQR, The
check advice print, for some strange reason prints
mystery pages.  I can see no reason why.  My checks
print fine and the advices use the same layout.  When
I run the process to a pdf file the pdf looks fine.  
All the text and graphics are on one page just like
they should be.  
When I look at the raw .lis file I only see one
formfeed (at the bottom of the page where it should
be).  But when I run it to an hp printer it just goes
crazy.  It prints some stuff on the first page.  
Then it prints some stuff on the next page.  Then it
goes to the next page and prints a line.  Then it
prints a line on the next page.  And so on for a few
more pages.  Then it prints a whole bunch of blank 
pages.   Then it prints the category subtotals on one
page.  Then finally it prints the grand totals on the
last page.  It spits out about 45 pages between blanks
and pages with stuff on them.  

I've tried the formfeed=no option but that doesn't
work.  Like I said I don't see any extra formfeeds.  

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.  We are going live
in a few weeks and I am at my wit send.

I am running the PeopleSoft version of sqr on an AIX
5.1 box and printing to an HP LaserJet 4000T. 
PeopleTools release 8.4.3.
