Printing 66 Lines per page

[luis]

The lines per page is set to 60. In my DOS program is set to 66 lines per page      

How can I solve this ?

You seemingly use an older version of vDos. Consult Printing.pdf (vDos) or the documentation of your program to change one or the other.

How do we find the "Printing.pdf" file? I've checked through this site & Sourceforge, etc, but don't see a copy available to the world. I'm not keen to wrestle with a complete re-install just to get some printing info. My version of vDOS (2018) is totally excellent AFAIK, and I'd like to keep it as it is for now. FWIW, I'd like to be able to select a smaller font on my printouts. They appear to be ~12pt, and 9pt is a more useful size.

vDos 2018 also came with a (version specific) Printing.pdf document. Look for that in the directory you installed vDos to (C:\vDos?).

Mind, version 2018 has 5 successors by now. Recent versions have a more overall consistent approach of sizing printed text. And some bugs/mishaps fixed.

Installing vDos is by no means an endeavor: No changes are made to your Windows system.

Thanks, fresh download as suggested. Changed syntax as per new Printer.pdf file. I've been using the SharkBase command "SPOOL" to send output to a text file without printing (likely more useful in the long-run for business users) and formatting the text file manually into a PDF for a better-looking result.  However, the direct-to-printer method will be useful for some tasks.

Now, while on the topic of output, does vDOS have a way to take the buffered ASCII text & create a PDF file directly?

No direct PDF output in vDos, there are many virtual PDF printers around with lots of options.
