Hi
I unable to control page eject as we are using Paper rolls on Dot matrix printer, we do not need any page ejection, but continue printing information without ejecting. Please help how I could achieve this through either Crystal Reports or through VB.

You can use an API called WritePrinter which allows you to write "raw data" to a windows printer. This will give you full control over every character sent. Works very well with dot matrix printers. For examples, go to msdn.microsoft.com and search for "raw data printer" or go to www.codehound.com and search for "writeprinter".
