Continuous printing on tractor from windows?

Hello everybody,

Recently I have encountered  some problem while printing on tractor paper from

windows program. I would like to continuously print some multichannel time
series data (similar to EEG recordings) from program in BP7 using standart
windows driver and GDI functions. However, the driver inserts unnecessary page

breaks.

Setting  custom paper size helps to make the breaks rather small, but not
removes them completely. I also tried printing to a file and then filtering
the binary print image of page breaks, but both solutions are somewhat
inconvenient.

I need some help how can I get rid of this completely and get the continuos
printing irrespective  of the printer type.

If you know in advance how long the printout is going to be, you could
try setting the custom page height to be that long; then the printer
driver should treat the printout as if it's on one sheet of paper.
