Can someone tell me how to print a linefeed character
using PRINTF in IDL? I'm trying to print out text to my
HP, but since the buffer doesn't get full, I have to hit
the button on the printer to get the printout. Thanks.
Myron.

PrintF automatically generates a linefeed.

I guess you need a form feed! Formfeed on a ASCII
printer is 00001100 binary, decimal 12, so you may
add
PrintF, String(12B)
after your last PrintF statement.

Try :
printf("%8f%8d....%8f\n",a,b....,c)
^^
Hope that is what you need.
