Until yesterday we had an old RPG III program using O spec to print a duplex 
report in what looks like universal font. The spool file contained print 
commands to handle the duplexing and font. ¬D1 was written to the spool file to 
handle duplexing and the value &%1B266C30303055&% was written to the spoolfile 
to handle the margin offset and font I believe. I've never seen it done that 
way before. 
Yesterday we changed the printer from twin ax to Ethernet and the duplexing 
didn't work any more and the print commands printed on the report. I changed 
the print file override to be DEVD(*AFPDS), and removed the print commands from 
the O specs. That solved the duplexing and margin problems but the font is now 
wrong. The font on the device is set to 11. I don't know what that is, but it 
looks like ASCII text. To me the font is fine, but the people who use the 
report don't like it and want the old font back. Everytime I change the font on 
the print file override the font changes, but the alignment of the columns is 
lost. I believe this is because some fonts don't adjust for blank spaces. I'll 
include the ovrprtf command that works. When I change the FONT parameter to 
4148 the font changes, but the alignment is lost. 
OVRPRTF    FILE(QPRINT) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) PAGESIZE(88 150) +
                          LPI(8) CPI(20) FRONTMGN(0 0.6) BACKMGN(0 0) +
                          OVRFLW(84) DUPLEX(*YES) OUTQ(&OUTQ) +
                          FORMTYPE(&FORMS) COPIES(&COPIES) HOLD(&HOLD)

I'll also include the command I used to create the device.
CRTDEVPRT DEVD(PRT07)
           DEVCLS(*LAN)
           TYPE(3812)
           MODEL(1)
           LANATTACH(*IP)
           PORT(9100)
           FONT(11)
           TRANSFORM(*YES)
           MFRTYPMDL(*HP8000)
           RMTLOCNAME('XXX.XXX.X.X')
           SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV)
           PUBLISHINF(*YES)
           TEXT('Sales Printer')
           WSCST(QSYS/QWPHPLSRE)

Any ideas?
