Tractor feed and PrintDocument

Hello,

I am having some issues printing to a dot matrix printer.

The printer in question is a Lexmark form printer, loaded with fan fold
paper using the tractor feed. The paper itself is a custom size.

I've added a custom size form and set this to be the default form size
for the printer, I've also set the tractor feed to be default (rather
than manual page feed).

When running the C# code, all seems good - the print document page size
is all set correctly and the output is all where I expect it on the
printed page.......BUT then when the page is finished it does what
looks like a form feed so pushes multiple pages up the tractor feed.
Doh!

Anyone got any ideas how to get around this? Can this feed be
suppressed?

Many thanks

Mat
