Although I don't have experience with those particular reports, I would
predict that you will have pagination problems. That is, the page breaks
will not be in the right places.

Your pin-feed printer is probably printing 66 lines per page (LPP). A
full-sheet printer (laser or inkjet) will probably NOT fit 66 LPP,
although some can be configured from the front panel. You can a) fiddle
with the printer, b) fiddle with Millennium's report definition, setting
its LPP to match the printer's, or c) use Print Wizard, our software
product, which will figure this out automatically.
