printwiz - print more lines on a page

I am forced to retire a Panasonic laser 4450 (similar to HP's old Series II 
laser) that has two paper trays, an invoice form in the top tray and plain 
paper in the bottom tray. I've been printing on an invoice form in the top 
tray, 76 lines, the first 24 or so are 6 lpi and the rest at 8 lpi and a 
matching salesperson's worksheet with costs, item sources, etc., on plain 
paper from the bottom tray. The Panasonic has worked well for many years. 
Now, supplies and drums are much more expensive than two new inkjet 
printers. Forget about repairing it.

I don't seem to be able to configure printwiz to put more than 65 lines on 
one piece of letter size paper. I've changed a lot of things, lines per 
page, length of page, etc., but no difference to the output I can see. Line 
65 or so  is about where it should be, about two inches up from the bottom 
of the page leaving lots of room for the remaining text lines. My form 
(created in AutoCAD and saved as a gif with blue coloring so it looks the 
same as the old preprinted blue ink form) prints just fine and the invoice 
text from filePro prints nicely on top of it . . .  Except after about line 
65, the rest of the invoice text, the important stuff, the subtotal and 
shipping charges and TOTAL, etc., to line 76, is on next piece of paper. 
Seems simple . . . I'm missing the 'simple part'. Anyone?
