[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Need Help Printing Spreadsheets

Amazing!  I've just had to set this up today!

1) Set the LaserJet for 60 lines per page.

2) Set Lotus for 60 lines per page.  (/wgdpp60)

3) Set Lotus for the following margins:
     left: 2
     right: 78
     top: 2
     bottom: 2
   (These are on /wgdp[lrtb] respectively)
   (Don't forget to /wgdu !)

And, most importantly,
4) ALWAYS use Align (/ppa) before Go (/ppg)!
   (you will have to use Page (/ppp) to eject the last page.)

These setups worked to attach both an AT and an XT to a Series II LaserJet
for 123 v2.01

Fancy stuff like cartridges and landscape I haven't played with (yet).
