If you are using the PeopleSoft standard heading SQC's remember to set the ColR
to the width you want.  The syntax is
#Define ColR 158 and should be right after the include "setenv.sqc' at the
beginning of the program.

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
