in vb Printer.print will print blank line

what is the command to set
the printer paper "roll back" a few lines to adjust lines every time
a print job is given ,to avoid it done manually each time)



is there any dos commands like char$( ) specifically for this
for doing the opposit of printer.print

I tried custom size paper in server properties (size is 6" height and
8" width)
but its not rolling back.
may be i am not doing it right.


or Epson LQ-300 Dotmatrix doesnt support this?

but i have seen this done on some other printer, but i dont remember
the model.

It's a *very* long time since I did any work with dot-matrix printers,
but it looks from the control code list in the appendix (page 93 onward)
of http://files.support.epson.com/pdf/lq300_/lq300_u1.pdf
as if the LQ-300 doesn't actually support reverse paper feed, so I think
you're out of luck.
