Message: [QUOTE="Dennis Lee Bieber, post: 4010839"] <FF> worked with old style text-only printers, where it triggered the paper to move until a marker in a control tape matched. These printers had known line spacing and column width (and did not wrap text)... Printing from Word/WordPad/NotePad doesn't follow that easy behavior (in WordPad you can have text wrap to window, but it gets sent to a printer as one long line which may or may not wrap depending on the printer). A Text-only printer probably honors <FF>, but most all printers in Windows are defined as graphical -- what is sent is a bit-image of the data as rendered in a memory buffer at printer resolution. At that level, it is dependent upon what the printer driver and GDI do when receiving a non-printable byte value... [/QUOTE]
