Hi,

I have been trying to set up a device which sends raw report data to an external "overlay" software, which makes a more decent print out of our Baan reports. This external software requires that files are sent with Form Feeds in stead of blank lines.

I have set up a simple "Rewrite File" device using the "ttstpconv" program with the "ASCII" argument. Having generated the file it is sent by "lp" (Unix environment) to the Windows Print Queue.

The Device is set up with a page length of 72 lines.

The problem is that the ttstpconv/ASCII setup handles the "Form Feeds" by setting in a number of blank lines equivalent to the Page Length.

My question: Is it possible to setup the device in another way causing the blank lines to be replaced by Form feeds?

Thanks!
