- Can anyone help with this windows (using BPW) problem:
-
- I need to print information to a page, less than one page at a
- time, i.e. 6 lines at a time. The way windows printing seems to work,
- it requires you to define a whole page, and only then the printer will
- physically print the stuff out. This means that to get the 6 lines
- out I need to send the escape code "endpage" or some such to produce
- the actually hardcopy, and this also has the sideffect of sending a
- form feed. So, I get stuck with a whole bunch of pages with six
- lines used in each one, rather than several 6 line blocks per page, as
- would be easy to do in dos.
- Is there any way to deal with this?
