I include the form feed code \f at the end of my format string but is does not form feed to the next page before it starts printing the balance of the document. Any Ideas

Thanks objects: I moved the \f to follow the %.2f with the same results.
have you checked if the form feed is actually in the string?
Problem may not be with that line of code

I write several invoices into a file and I would like each invoice to be on it's own page of course. I am printing all the invoices to one file and trying to put a form feed between each one. I am attaching the code I am using and the line you suggested is toward the bottom. Everything prints properly I am only lacking the form feed. Hope this helps.

are you sure your printer supports form feeds?

I have tried it on a Brother DCP 7020 and an Okidata 320 using the Epson FX emulation. They both react the same. We have several hundred Okidata printers in another application and we use the form feed there. I'm not curtain about the Brother and am not sure how to find the info.
