I have a question regarding printing text files to LaserJet printers. Using either the COPY command (copy file.txt lpt1) or the PRINT command, the first line of the printout is being cut off or skipped (maybe printing in the non-printable margin?). We are using Warp with WinOS2 and LaserJet driver version 30.453. It happens on several LaserJet models (I know 5P and 4 for sure), and happens when printing both locally and over the network using these methods. Using other methods (such as LANtastic's NET PRINT command) work fine, and printouts from application programs work fine. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve

ASCII 12 works good, because it's kind of obvious when an extra page ejects. It won't solve the problem, but at least you would know whether or not it was because it's in the non-printable margin.
