Landscape Legal

Hhhaaalllppp.........

I am trying to create a report on landscape legal.

My declares are as follows:

declare-printer DEFAULT-HP
  point-size=7.2
  symbol-set=0U
  pitch=17
  font=3
end-declare

declare-layout default
  paper-size=(14in, 8.5in)
  orientation=LANDSCAPE
  max-columns=234
  max-lines=58
  left-margin=0
  top-margin=0.125
  line-height=9.5
  char-width=4.32
end-declare

When output goes direct to printer, it is printed on landscape letter with the right portion of the report "chopped off".

When output goes to the Viewer, it appears just fine on the screen, but if you try to print from the viewer, you get the same result as above ... unless you first manually change the printer properties in the print dialogue box. This is not an acceptable option for our user community (hell, even going to the viewer first is considered an unviable option by them)

What am I missing????

I have searched high and low in the archives. There are some suggestions on how to print landscape legal in Lineprinter mode using the init-string but I can find nothing for HP.

I can't believe that I am the first geek trying to print landscape legal to a HPLaserjet. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks much,
Peter
