For one, once I realised that dreport was causing the one-page (last page)
prints and that FORM wasn't working in dreport, I switched properly to
dclerk. (The behaviour you describe is exactly why I got one page at all
when still in dreport.)
Once I was in dclerk, no, of course I'm not using a PRINT.
