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

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
