Hi --
I need to set up an HP DeskJet printer to print text-only, 132-column
reports from a legacy app. The printer is connected to the PC's parallel
port.
I created a new printer using the Generic/Text Only driver. A test page
confirms that the printer is printing in text-only mode, albeit only 80
columns wide and in 10-pitch.
I then went to the Printer Commands tab in the printer's Properties sheet
and entered the PCL commands to set the line printer (16.6-pitch) font:
Begin Print Job: <1B>(s16.66H<1B>&k6.76H
Now, when I send a job to this printer, the job prints in 17-pitch -- but
still only prints 80 columns! Every line is truncated, and I'm missing the
rightmost one-third of the report.
How do I get this to properly print 132 columns?
Thanks,
CL
