Had to abandon most of the form control I was trying to do in Comet. PDF too.

Kept Landscape and the following to do the actual print. Three time cards on a sheet of 100 lb paper

PrintLaserTimeCard:
!------------------- LINE 1 ----------------------------------------------------
LET PX1 = (0.00 * TWIP.INCH) - XOFF
LET PY1 = (0.00 * TWIP.INCH) - YOFF
LET DATA$ = ENAME$
PRINT (1,FMT.TEXTOUT)

LET PX1 = (4.30 * TWIP.INCH) - XOFF
LET PY1 = (0.00 * TWIP.INCH) - YOFF
LET DATA$ = ENAME$
PRINT (1,FMT.TEXTOUT)

LET PX1 = (8.50 * TWIP.INCH) - XOFF
LET PY1 = (0.00 * TWIP.INCH) - YOFF
LET DATA$ = ENAME$
PRINT (1,FMT.TEXTOUT)
!------------------- LINE 2 ----------------------------------------------------
LET PX1 = (0.00 * TWIP.INCH) - XOFF
LET PY1 = (0.15 * TWIP.INCH) - YOFF
LET DATA$ = EORG$ + ' ' + EDEPT$
PRINT (1,FMT.TEXTOUT)

LET PX1 = (4.30 * TWIP.INCH) - XOFF
LET PY1 = (0.15 * TWIP.INCH) - YOFF
LET DATA$ = EORG$ + ' ' + EDEPT$
PRINT (1,FMT.TEXTOUT)

LET PX1 = (8.50 * TWIP.INCH) - XOFF
LET PY1 = (0.15 * TWIP.INCH) - YOFF
LET DATA$ = EORG$ + ' ' + EDEPT$
PRINT (1,FMT.TEXTOUT)
!------------------- LINE 3 ----------------------------------------------------
LET PX1 = (0.00 * TWIP.INCH) - XOFF
LET PY1 = (0.30 * TWIP.INCH) - YOFF
LET DATA$ = ENBR$ + ' ' + STEMP$
PRINT (1,FMT.TEXTOUT)

LET PX1 = (4.30 * TWIP.INCH) - XOFF
LET PY1 = (0.30 * TWIP.INCH) - YOFF
LET DATA$ = ENBR$ + ' ' + STEMP$
PRINT (1,FMT.TEXTOUT)

LET PX1 = (8.50 * TWIP.INCH) - XOFF
LET PY1 = (0.30 * TWIP.INCH) - YOFF
LET DATA$ = ENBR$ + ' ' + STEMP$
PRINT (1,FMT.TEXTOUT)

PRINT (1) (FF) ! EJECT PAGE
RETURN

Went with the "?" printer. In the Toshiba print driver, I had to set up a new form with size and other settings. I had to confiscate the legal drawer as the manual tray holds too few of the forms to make it worth the change from the Printronix. Last step is to put all the settings into a "profile" that the user picks.

Done two test runs of 150+ pages without a jam. Waiting on new forms from printer.
