This problem is due to the caching under Windows of the print device handle. There are alternate methods, but no cure.

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.
