in 98 and nt we have to perform a suspend exit exit to get the printing to kick out. are there any settings to eliminate this problem?
This problem is due to the caching under Windows of the print device handle. There are alternate methods, but no cure.

what are some alternate methods?
Debbie,
If you are having difficulty printing/ejecting the last page of a report from your printer, is there a reason a straightforward formfeed command doesn't work? If printing from a subroutine, add the code:
PRINTER ON
PRINT CHAR(12):
PRINTER OFF
Otherwise, create a subroutine and name it FORMFEED. Run it from TCL. I use it all the time.
Can't help if your problem is of a different sort.

You could also run setprinter x once back in arev where x is the
printer number of your chosen printer on your printer list within arev
This forces an end of job command and the print then proceeds.
There is a product called Rawprint that allows you treat the printer as if you were in DOS. Haven't tried it over a network.
