Hi

Try to add a FormFeed (Chr(12)) at the end to tell the
printer to feed the sheet, like this:

objPrinter.Write("testing printing" & vbFormFeed)

maybe you can help with another related question. i want to use this script
to print a asp page that a user gets to the web servers printer. what would
be the best way to do that? should i save the asp out put to the server as
file and then print it or can i save it as a object or varable and then
print that?

Hi

I have no ASP experience whatsoever, so I am afraid I am not able
to give you a good answer on that one.
