We are using HP lazerJet 4Plus printers with IBM client access software on NT4 platform, to print from a AS/400. We are using preprinted forms and the last line always prints on a second page. We have tried every possible setting and it still printson the second page. Any suggestions would be a great help.

The big question is whether you can print to the bottom from the AS/400, in which case the problem may be in the software, or whether the problem is in the printer. I suspect that it is a printer issue rather than a client software issue.

Try creating a text file on the AS/400 with 66 lines, each line having only its line number:
1
2
3
and so on. Print that file and see where the printer forces a page break. Typical printer defaults start a page on line 4, and throw a page after line 60,giving a 1/2 inch top and bottom margin. You can probably change this from the control panel on the printer, or create a small file with printer escape sequences to change this. Consult the printer manual for the codes.

Good luck.
