Check the definition of the print file. The parameter Degree of Page
rotation may be set to *AUTO or *COR  which may reduce the font and rotate
it to landscape  for wider  reports.  If you specify and actual value such
as  0 (degrees) the page should print  in portrait with no font reduction.

     I have set up one of our LAN HP printers with an IP address, so I can
     print to it from the AS/400.  I have created the output queue,
     pointing to that IP address, and have printed to the printer
     successfully.  I was pleasantly surprised that it printed in landscape
     mode automatically.
     However, the font size is very small; all of the printing fits in the
     upper left 3/4 of the page.  So, I made some changes to the default
     wscst object for the HP4, compiled it, and recreated the output queue
     to specify the new wscst (transform set to *yes, etc).  It didn't
     help.  I added the font selection and point size string to the
     initialization string - I thought it would at least use that - but no
     change.  What am I missing?
