Re: Printing on Legal Size (8.5,14)

[Albert Howard <starbuckk@MAILROOM.COM>]

Remove the PRINTER-INIT command and put an INIT-STRING parameter in the
DECLARE-PRINTER block.  But put ONLY the escape string for the legal size
paper and duplex printing in that INIT-STRING parm. Leave anything else
that was in your PRINTER-INIT string out.  Unfortunately I don't remember
what the escape sequence is to tell the printer to expect legal size paper
or duplex mode (I just did this too, lol).  But if you don't have the
printer manual you can get the pcl commands from HP's web site.

BTW, you will also need to add a DECLARE-LAYOUT command to specify the
paper size for the page buffer.
