I promised I would get back to the list with the resolution to my PCL print
problem where the characters at the 81st position wrapped and the lines in
the box function did not come out properly.

The reslolution had to do with the definition of the print spooler. As our
problem occurred on AIX, I'm sure the approach would be the same on other
platforms.

For those on AIX

Go into smit
Print Spooling
Programming tools
Chnage/Show Printers
Highlight the print queue

Enter the following:
_d=p
_J=!
_j=!
_Z=!

The foregoing, in essence, creates a passthrough and takes out the line
feed. The PCL defined queue was interferring with the format of the page.
The embedded format had to be deleted.
