15 CPI printing on HP4 via *IP

["John Lee" <LEARCHRYS.CHRYSLER.JLEE01@xxxxxxxx>]

Using Brad Stone's (thank you) excellent example on customizing a workstation 
object, I have been able to get 15 CPI AS/400 reports to print correctly 
(17cpi) on an remote HP4 connected  via *IP.

My remaining problem is that while this works for reports in landscape, I 
cannot get it to work for 15 CPI reports in portrait.

Example:
I have compiled a *PRTF with PAGESIZE(88 127) LPI(8) CPI(15) OVRFLW(88) 
PAGRTT(0).  The report should be reduced (to 17cpi) to fit on 8.5 x 11 
portrait, using the same workstation customized object used for landscape 
reports. I was forced to use PAGRTT(0) to prevent the report from printing in 
landscape.

One problem is that no reduction is being performed. I am expecting a pitch of 
17, which would allow the report to fit in portrait orientation. Since there is 
no reduction, the last columns of the report drop off the page. This problem 
does not occur if I allow the report to print in landscape, which for some 
reports is not an option.

Another problem with our reports in portriat using *IP is that sometimes the 
page breaks occur in undesirable locations (ie; what should be the last 3 lines 
on a page end up on 3 subsequent pages, 1 line per page.).

Anyone experience similar problems that they were able to solve?

Thank you in advance.
