What about FF = Form Feed = NP = New Page = x'0c'
http://www.december.com/html/spec/ascii.html
Forgot about that one (been a long time since I had to print in DOS any text
files). However, that has the FF control code sent to the device rather
than the app doing line counting (where the page size was defined by the
number of lines per page and even that could be off from the physical print
size depending on what system font size got used).
From what I've seen mentioned by other users trying to insert a chr$(12)
character in their .txt document when using Notepad is that Notepad shows
the control character but it has no effect during printing (might depend on
the printer, too). I don't have a printer at my current location to test
the effect of adding a FF character in a .txt file using Notepad assuming I
figure out how to insert the FF character into the document. Alt+12 doesn't
work as I get a warning dialog saying the Unicode formatted document will be
saved in ANSI format, and a hex editor shows 12 (0A) for the FF got replaced
with 63 (3F) which is "?" when I saved the .txt file.
