What type of printer are you using? My bet is a HP deskjet or laserjet. I have been having all kinds of problems with reports ejecting pages accurately/when expected. Try turning _perf_skip_ off. This is an option usually selectable by dip switches on the printer. perf skip causes the printer to leave usually one inch at the top and bottom of each page. This can get into conflict with the SBPro report sending form feeds to the printer, often causing the symptom you describe. (I just spent a few hours with a client figuring this out). The behavior has changed between SBPro 3 and 4, because the same reports which worked with SBPro3 caused every other page of a report to be blank when used with SBPro4. If you are using one of the HP printers, make sure nothing is on the page past line 60. – Whapping! from LA…. Peter Bradley
