- Yes, I always see this problem. I can not print from FW4 to GPFax without
- having the printer turned on and when I do so, multiple page FAXes have no
- form feeds; they become one long page. As a matter of fact when I print
- multiple page documents to the printer, I get either a blank sheet ejected
- between each printed page or garbage printing out after the first page is
- ejected depending on what driver I use. All the drivers work fine with
- other programs, by the way. I feel that FW4 is sending form feeds directly
- to the printer rather than to the printer device. If anyone has a
- workaround for this, I'd love to hear about it. This is the only bug I've
- noticed in an, otherwise, great program.
