Printing Full Page 1098, 1099

[John Esak]

I hate to go against the grain... but I do *not* use a form to print w2's,
1099's, etc. I use a report format. This is an infinitely better choice.
When you print w2's for example... whether you print them on pin-feed or on
the laserjet you ware wanting to move to... you need to do a "totals" page.
In fact, one totals page for each state, and then one grand totals page for
the federal government. By using a report, you can avail yourself of
filePro's ability to carry totals, and print the X's for denoting totals
pages in the right spot...  If you use a form to print your w2's, you lose
this ability, unless you do a *lot* of work to print the totals pages
yourself.

Jim's print code makes it all easy no matter which method you choose.

  Hi:

  I have a client that wants to switch from printing 1098 and 1099 on dot
matrix (one form at a time) to printing same on laser.  The standard laser
form is three to a page vertical and the final form goes all the way to the
bottom of the page.  I am not sure what the right technique is to print
these, the methods I have tried failed because native filepro output skips
to the next page before we get to the bottom.  I have tried varying page
size, form size, etc., but only made the problem worse.  I'm sure others are
doing this and just want to know what is the right approach to printing
these laser forms where there are multiple forms down the page.
