I have been working with a program that prints mailing labels to the imagewriter. Now when you print mailing labels you cant be bothered with page breaks so you have to select "No gaps between pages" in the style dialog box. Now, my print code is the same, but for some reason when I print with that option the imagewriter decides to print a blank page before printing the first page. I must have spent 12 hours pouring over the code and trying different things before I decided to see if other programs have the same problem. When I fired up MacWrite 5.0, it did the same thing but when I printed from MacWrite II there was not a problem at all. So I figure there must be a solution to this. I looked in the tech notes but found nothing. I know that it can't be my fault because when I draw something right after my first prOpenPage it draws on the second page of the printer. So I need help. Is anyone familiar with this problem and how to fix it without messing with the printhandle in a way that will get me into trouble with other printers? I am presently working in lightspeed pascal if anyone can come up with some code for me. Thanks for taking time to read this, I greatly appreciate it. Kerr Gibson -=- Kerr Gibson CIS Dept OSU.
