Hi Risto

nothing at all is wrong with asking.  I guess it's not something done =
very
much.  I hardly ever print source code these days, and when I do, it's =
only
a temporary printout to check some code and I want it printed on as few =
a
pages as possible, with no extra page breaks.

If it's any consolation, the Editplus editor doesn't provide a way to do
this either.  You can probably do it with a beanshell macro  e.g. mark =
the
page breaks with a line something like

// *pagebreak*

then write a script to copy all text up to the page break into a new =
buffer
and print that buffer, then repeat up to the next page break.  You might =
be
able to use the embedded formfeeds you mentioned in your previous post  =
-  I
don't know if that's possible.

I don't have time to try it myself  - check some of the example macros, =
and
try recording a macro that does a buffer print to get the idea  - and =
try
recording a macro that searches for the pagebreak.  If you're familiar =
with
Java or C/C++, writing a beanshell script is reasonably easy.
