printing to windows spooler - width of doc problem

[Dennis Malen]

Unfortunately I must attempt printing through the windows spooler because of 
the need to communicate with a windows third party application.

Other than that need, we always communicate through UNIX using an IP address 
which is working fine.

Concerning our printing to a windows spooler, we did get it to work except 
that it does not recognize the width of the document. It wraps at 80 
characters even though the document is larger.

Does anyone know what printer code I can use to send to an HP compatible 
printer that will allow it to recognize the width of the document??????

Thanks,

Dennis Malen
