RE: Virtual printer font sometimes too small

Check the print file definition that PDM uses compared to the compiler.

Subject: Virtual printer font sometimes too small

I had an HP Laserjet 6P configured as a virtual printer on a 9406-600
running V5R2 but moved it to a 170 running V5R2. When I began printing
things I thought they looked small. I compared two reports and the
print looks smaller and harder to read when printing from the new
machine. I looked at the device settings on the old machine and made
sure the settings are the same on the new machine and they are
(configured as a 3812 model 1 with font identifier 011 and point size
*none).

On the PC side I've checked the printer setup, page setup, and
preferences and they are the same except for 1 item. On the virtual
printer on the new machine when I click "EDIT - PREFERENCES -
APPEARANCE" the option for font is greyed out and it isn't on the old
machine.

One thing I have noticed. If I print a program listing using option 6
from PDM the font size is okay. If I print a compiled listing it's too
small.

Anyway, if someone could tell me how to change the font size before I go
blind I would be obliged.
