[sqr-users] Problem Printing Compressed Portrait



Hi All,

I am attempting to print my report on 8/5 X 11 paper, in a Portrait 
orientation, but with a compressed pitch so that all of the output will fit 
the width of the page.  However, no matter what combinations of 
delcare-report/declare-printer/alter-printer I use I still end us with a 
"normal" courier font printing beyond the width of the page.

Below is my latest attempt:

begin-setup

        declare-printer printer1
        type            = hplaserjet
        Font            = {FONT_COURIER}
       point-size       = 8.0
        end-declare

        declare-report bcbs_rpt
                layout              = layout1
!        printer-type   = hplaserjet
        end-declare

    declare-Layout layout1
        Orientation = Portrait
        Paper-Size = (Letter)
        line-height =9
        char-width = 5.0
    end-declare

!    declare-Layout layout1
!        paper-size     = (8.5,11)
!        Max-Columns    = {REPORT_WIDTH}
!               Max-Lines       = {REPORT_LENGTH}
!               left-margin     = .5
!        char-width     = 4.8
!        line-height    = 10
!    end-declare

end-setup

I attempt to alter the pitch to compressed with the following:

begin-program

    alter-printer point-size=8 font=3 pitch=16.67
!   alter-printer pitch=16.67

        do getargs
        do mask
    do print_header
        do main

end-program

I am printing to an HP Laserjet 5s1 - any ideas ?

Thanks in advance to all who reply !

Jeff
