printing to windows spooler - width of doc problem

[Dennis Malen]

Chad,

I'll look into your script that you supplied. But as I said before, we 
finally got our document to print to the windows spooler. I just need the 
code I can send so it recognizes a job that has a width of greater than 80 
characters.
