When printing from TinyTERM 4.02 or higher to a Windows printer, you may need to save the settings for lines and columns so it will print correctly. On some versions, every time you exit TinyTERM it loses those settings.

To save those settings, place the attached script into your .tpx file with these steps:

1. Copy this script to the C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM directory.
2. Open the Session Properties and go to the Session tab.
3. Click the “Post Session Start” radio button.
4. Click the Browse button
5. Locate and select the st.cs script
6. Click OK and close the Session Properties.
7. From TinyTERM’s File menu select Printer Setup.
8. Configure printing to the desired Windows printer.
9. Click the Setup button to get the Page Setup dialog.
10. Set the lines and columns.
11. OK all settings, then save the .tpx file and exit TinyTERM.
12. Restart TinyTERM.

It should have the lines and columns settings saved. You may need to set them one more time, now that the script is running.

Lines and Columns options were permanently added to the Page Setup dialog in TinyTERM 4.30. From that version on, the st.cs script is never necessary.
