RE: Host Print Transform and "fitting" printout

Even though things are supposed to take care of themselves, there are a
couple of other things you might try to help it out.

Change the page rotation to ... PagRtt('90'), I have better luck with that.

You might also change the font to ... Font(*Cpi)

Both of these have worked pretty well for me

We played around and found when we put LPI at 11 it fit and
looked good, but "small".

I know HPT can only use the information available, unlike
printers that just shrink everything to fit.  No device
type available when making a TIFF from a spooled file.

So, I think it's just a case of the printer file was
created too big to begin with and changing the LPI/CPI is
the only choice.  But that makes the print "small".  :)  I
understand that with a piece of paper there is a finite
amount of space to print.. but trying to explain that
sometimes can be a chore.
