Is there a way to print a form feed
without advancing the print position
so the next page prints at the current position?

without advancing the print position

Code:
OPEN "LPT1" FOR OUTPUT As #1 PRINT #1, CHR$(12); CLOSE #1 The code above form feeds, but the print head will be 1 position to the right. Can't use PRINT #1, CHR$(12) because it issues a carriage return/line feed and if the file printing is at end of file some dot-matrix printers advance an extra page because of the trailing chr$(13) and char$(10). Do I have to PRINT #1, CHR(8)+Chr$(12); each time a CHR$(12) is found in a file to print that does not have a carriage return/line feed after the form feed and characters follow the form feed? I wrote a print manager that prints text files and files can have embedded form feeds that sometimes need to surpress advancing the print head to line-up on the next page. Should I be using another print mode?
