as I am in the "printing confusion" club myself. Attached are two files that will allow you to generate the problem that I'm seeing.
bbtest.ibs opens the printer ( change back to 'lp1' ) and then ENTERs
my CForm program CFPTOP. Q option 13 CFPTOP as an object and CREATE
a file 'Z1' as keyed, 378,32. When ENTERed and the Z1 key does not
exist, the program only sets the printer data font as follows:
SetFormDataFont:
Gosub GDI.InitLogFont
lfHeight$ = IntelD(224)
lfWidth$ = IntelD(134)
lfFaceName$ = "Courier new"+NullByte$
lfPitchAndFamily$ = Intel(DEFAULT.PITCH+FF.DONTCARE)! VARIABLE
Gosub SetFont
Return
After this is done bbtest.ibs prints the format shown twice, the only
difference being that the string fields A$ & B$ are blank on the first print and non-blank on the second. The first format will print
"SYSTEM TIME:" directly under "SYSTEM DATE:" with no blank line. Tom.
