Printing to an LA75 using VMS queues and form definitions

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

Hi guys, I have printing working to my LA75+ dot matrix printer via a spooled VMS queue which communicates via LAT with the printer attached to a DECserver 90L+. Everything is working fine except for two issues: 1. I'd like to be able to print with a form definition which leaves a margin at the top and bottom of the page. I tried this: $ DEFINE/FORM LISTING 3 /WIDTH=132/PAGE=66/MARGIN=(TOP=6,BOTTOM=6)/STOCK=DEFAULT/NOWRAP/TRUNCATE $ SET QUEUE/DEFAULT=FORM=LISTING LA75$PRINT_ALEPH$ I tried asking Hoff but I think he's sick of my 80's related questions, his response was entitled: Classic printing best left to masochistic perfectionists <http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/766#comment-2424> (http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/766) I think I'm almost there, but the printer appears to be ignoring the bottom margin - I get a top margin fine, and the listing is not exhibiting 'rolling' ie the content of the output is aligned correctly on each page. Anyone got any ideas what I can do? I want to be able to put listings in vertical binders, and that just doesn't work without both top and bottom margins being honoured. Regards, Mark

Any reason BUBBLE isn't on that list?
