On most printers today, you have to send a Form Feed character (ASCII 12) to the pritner to get it to form feed and print the contents of the buffer. If it still does not print, then there is some setting or flush commadn you hvae to send to the printer. But, only the documentation on the printer will tell you what that is. You might even have to go to the manufacturer to get that information. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
