I am running UNIX Sys V and I am having a problem with a HP LaserJet+ trying to use the Portrait Compressed Line Printer font. I am trying to get the most information I can on one piece of paper so I am attempting to use the full 132 col by 84 lines on a page. According to the manuals (both Operators and Technical Ref.) I can set the page size to 88 and the text size to 84. Any attempt to set the page size to greater than 66 is ignored although I can set the page size to be less than 66. Here is the section of the code that initializes the printer: echo "\033E\c" # Reset printer # Portrait Compressed Line Printer Font echo "\033&l0O\033(8U\033(s0p16.66h8.5v0s0b0T" echo "\033&l88P" # Page Length 88 Lines echo "\033&l8D" # 8 Lines Per Inch echo "\033&l2E" # Top Margin Line 2 echo "\033&l84F" # Text Length 84 Lines # This doesn't work either echo "\033&l2e5.647c89F\033&k2S" Anyone see what I am doing wrong? The font appears correctly. The printer uses the full page when told to use 6 LPI. Please respond by Email and I will summarize to the net. Thanks in advance. Mike Schloss enmasse!mike
