SUMMARY
When you printing to a generic text only driver on Windows NT 4.0, you may experience unexpected results when using a custom form and the Device Setting "Continuous No Page Break."



MORE INFORMATION
When you choose the "Continuous No Page Break" option from the Generic Text only driver, the setting is ignored and the driver sends a 0xC in the print job (a form feed). The expected behavior is to advance the page to encompass the data provided and stop printing.
