How are you getting the text to print to the dot matrix? are you appending any characers to the end of the string you are sending to the printer.

The dot matrix will be responding to ascii characters 10 and 13 which are line feed and carriage return. vb has a character which is vbcrlf which may be appended to the end of text, you may need to remove this/these characters

Older printers are stupid: they will not advance to the next page unless you tell them to. This is done by "printing" a form feed character, ASCII 12. If your dot matrix is an older printer -- and chances are good that it is -- then all you should need to do is catch the form feed and delete it from the text stream.

Of course, it would be very helpful to know what you are already trying.
