printer file "name" - problem

[Dennis Malen]

It does work fine, but I have to take out the definition of the printer and 
I have to change the size of the page from 64 lines to one line.

If the report comes out properly when the size of the page is 64 lines then 
why not when its dropped to a file.

Regards,
