Re: Landscape vs. portrait

Depends on what you're printing to.  And how the AS/400 sees the printer.

Since I'm not familiar with all the possible combinations, basically what you
want to try to see if this will work for you is to create a spool file with
PAGRTT(*AUTO).  Assuming normal letter size 8.5x11 inch paper, you should be
able to print 88 lines by 132 columns via the following parameters:

        PAGESIZE(88 132 *ROWCOL)
        LPI(8)
        CPI(15)
        OVRFLW(84)
        PAGRTT(*AUTO)

BTW, I use duplicates of QSYSPRT and QPSUPRTF in a my library which sits atop
the *syslibl that use those parameters.  It is very readable on the printers I
have used it on.

If your report is 80 characters across or less, then you should be able to use
10 CPI.

If this doesn't work, likely the culprit is either the printer hardware or the
AS/400's description of the printer.  (Good luck solving that one!)
