| Is there a way to setup the paper size/output format size to use 11x17
| big size paper?  Such as set the output format to be landscape but 255
| characters wide.
|
| They have tried numerous things and doodled around with different
| local printer settings and it doesn't work.  It still prints like it
| is 8 1/2 x 11 size and wraps all the text around.
|
| SCO O/S 5 filePro 4.8."something" PowerTerm emulator on Win2000 PC's
| HPLaser print w/ multiple paper trays
|
| Simply put:  Is there way to use define output and lay out the format
| to be huge to 255 characters landscape onto an 11 x 17 piece of paper?

Come on, Butch, you've been around long enough to know that "tried
numerous things" is highly unhelpful.  Just *what* did they try?

In particular, did they try defining the width of the form to be
255, and using a landscape printer code (No. 57, maybe No.58) as the
initialization code?
