Re: Printing to HP - Trouble changing point-size in courier font

Thanks, Jon.  That did the trick.

However, instead of replacing point-size, I added pitch as follows:                          

    alter-printer font=3 point-size=8 pitch=15      

I found a calculation for pitch on the archive as follows:      120/pitch=point-size

Does this seem appropriate? 

FINAL QUESTION:  Adding the pitch to just the one alter-printer stmt above affected all other 26 alter-printer stmts that changed font to courier.  The pitch was not impacted for other alter-printer stmts where font was Times-Roman but the alter-printer stmts that changed font to Courier were changed as if the pitch parm were used.  Why would only adding pitch parm to the one alter-printer stmt affect all the other courier stmts?  Is this expected?
