MP ->I'm writing a program that must to print a continuos documents in 3 
difirents
   ->printers. But the "not-mat. printers" dont print all the document. They 
keep
   ->the last in a ******* buffer!
                   ^^^^^^^
Please clean it up a bit.
MP ->I must to print 2 documents to see 1 ;)
A laserjet type printer only prints when an entire page is ready. You
must not be using the command EJECT after the last report is sent to
the printer.
The EJECT command effectively sends a  chr(12)  to the printer, which
the printer interprets as the command to spit out the paper.
If that doesn't do it, try
@prow()+1,pcol()  SAY ''
as the very last line right before the EJECT. That'll usually clear out
the buffer and get the last line printed.
