Alain - I've been doing the page eject just as George B described for  
several years now and have not had a problem. Haven't tried spacial  
sized pages though. Somewhere in the past there was a note that CLEAR  
LPRINT and CLOSE LPRINT worked best (only) after re-routing back to  
the screen. Normally I put his two snippets a small functions:  
PrintPage( endReport )  where endReport is either 0 or 1 to indicate  
time to stop(1) or to continue(0).
