Aha, I have the same problem with browsers.  We e-mail many of our reports
in PDF format rather than HTML.  This preserves pagination, fonts, columns,
and all that.  The conversion to PDF is done on the AS/400, in Java, using a
utility, CPYSPLFPDF, that you can track down through http://www.zappie.net/
<http://www.zappie.net/> .  It was shareware when we acquired it but there
may be a commercial version now.  Works great.

Printing from the browser is ok, but the report has too many columns, (and
landscape doesn't cut it either).  But if the print from the as/400, the
report formats correctly on the printer....

So right now, I send the report as an html, to the end user as an
attachment, so they can view it, but if they want to print it via the as/400
, I wanted to give them a link to click on that would change the original
spoolfile to their outs for printing...
