Re: *afpds spooled file not printing correctly on ip attached printer

["franz400" <franz400@xxxxxxx>]

One difference between Gumbo (while I really like) and your HP printer is 
that
there is both the HPT and the Workstation Customizing Object. They only come 
into use during the printer process, not the generation of the spool.

Also, CHRSIZ is for *ipds printers (from infocenter: Use this record- or 
field-level keyword to expand the width and height of a record or field. 
CHRSIZ is valid only for IPDS printers and only for printer files with 
device type *IPDS or *AFPDS specified.

I suspect your WCST is changing the margins, causing the overlap.

If you change the CHRSIZ to instead use a font - this may do it for you (try 
point sizes 11,12,13,14 etc to see what you get and 2305 for bold - 2304 is 
helvetica).
A          R $PRT12B                   FONT(2304 (*POINTSIZE 12))
A               DATA                    20      1

Try this without the WCST.
