Problem printing with custom print size



Hello,

I am developing a garnishment check printing program that will ultimately
print to one of our mainframe line printers.  I am trying to define a custom
layout to match our check forms, below is a snapshot of my layout
definition.  The program uses the print and new-page commands to perform all
my printing.  My question is am I missing anything in my layout definition?

begin-setup
  declare-report check_print
     layout=HONCHK
     printer-type=LINEPRINTER
  end-declare

  ! Declare Layout
  declare-layout honchk
    paper-size=(14.25, 6)
    max-columns=132
    max-lines=33
  end-declare

end-setup

>From reading the language reference it looks like this should be all I need,
but when I print it's a different story. I am using PeopleSoft v7.51 process
scheduler to initiate the sqr.  When I direct the output to a file it looks
formatted properly and works great, when I send it to our networked
mainframe line printer I get the error message:  (SQR 6002)  Cannot open the
printer file:  \\<server>\<printer>.spf, (2): No such file or directory.
It's strange, in that the sqr will work fine when printing to the printer
after I comment out the section of code above.  I do not believe that it's a
Peoplesoft issue, I think the problem likes within the sqr.
Any thoughts, I've been wrestling with this for awhile.
