Strange print behavior with HP50 and HP82240B

I used the pointer PTR 2F127 first, and I got the errors mentioned there. The command PRINTxNLF mentioned by you has the address # 2F362h on my HP50g and FPTR 1 2CE turns out to be the same as PTR 2F127. Pointer 2F362 does not improve. My HP50g has the same software version: v2.15. Sincerely, Karel.

PTR 2F362 and PTR 4C0D0 both point to the same flash-based subroutine at FPTR 1 509, which is the code for PRINTxNLF.

PTR 2F127 (the SysRPL-happy version of PR1) jumps to FPTR 1 2CE. The PTR version takes up less space, with negligible extra time required. Time isn't really an issue here anyway, since you actually need some extra time for the printing.

Looking at your description, I'm wondering if there's possibly a logic error in the code that is shortening the lines. Are the extra spaces in the output being counted properly in the code that is adding linefeeds? Just a thought.
