Then we're back to the original statement/question:

If it's going to a file rather than a pipe, then filePro won't close the 
file after each form.  You say it's going to a file, you also say that it's 
also going to the spooler.  Which is it?

What is the exact destination for the printer name you gave?

In this case, PRINTER RESET works because you used PRINTER NAME to change 
the destination, sent something there, and now you reset it back to the 
original printer, thereby closing the temporarily-redirected output.
