Reports to HP printers text wrap to new line at 77 lines

[stephen]

I have set up a HP printer in AIX for use with Pronto software, when we print to the
printer the lines wrap at 77 characters,

How can I tell the system that the lines are longer?



Ssolution:
Make sure your queues have the following settings :-


Print Queue to Change / Show

Type or select a value for the entry field.
Press Enter AFTER making all desired changes.

[Entry Fields]
* PRINT QUEUE name [support]

For the print queue you want change, then under '1. Printer Setup' set
it all to A4

And

Under Default print Job Attributes change the following :-


Print file TYPE = p
WRAP long lines? = no
COLUMNS per page = [1000]


This should go for all queues
