Line-Printer control

     Hi!

       We have a report written for 'hplaserjet' (on UNIX). We use the
       alter-printer command to change the font, pitch etc. Thus, we can
       print a lot of information on one line (80 char. wide).

       But, now I have a requirement to do the output in ASCII (plain text)

       I did the following:
         - generated the 'hplaserjet' report and used -keep option (SPF)
         - used the 'sqrp' utility to generate an ASCII file.

       But now, I see that the data does not fit on one line, when I print
       the ASCII file. Also all the fonts are lost.

       Has anyone encountered such a problem/dilemna?
