 DC> Yep!  The page goes up 1/4 of a sheet!       


 DC> Seriously:  Are you running under Windows?   

 DC> And, does it happen on every message you attempt to print?  

 DC> Also, do check your printer setting in Qedit.  

 Dan

 From the commands Art gave he is printing from BlueWave not Qedit.  It
 appears from what he said it does not happen all the time so I am
 thinking that there is some sort of circumstance that has to happen for
 it to mis fire and only print 1/4 page.  It could be a hold over from
 the last print job that interjects it's self and stops things.  Some of
 these little quirks are very hard to find.

 DC> Finally, does the printer work correctly from other programs?

 Bluewave being a DOS program I would have to think about if other DOS
 applications  were functioning not just Window applications.

 Printer problems are something I have had my share of and it never
 seems to be the same problem two times in a row.
