Re: Printer Fonts

["Smith, Dave" <DSmith@xxxxxxxxx>]

I suspect you are not using the workstation customizing object that was
being used on the old device.

Check some other printer DEVD or 
WRKOBJ OBJ(*ALLUSR) OBJTYPE(*WSCST) to see if something makes sense.

Most of our HP printer font problems being too small have been fixed
using the customized objects with the following changes:

    :CPICOR

      ASCIIFNT=  204                         
/*    FNTWTH=   84              ORIG ONE */  
      FNTWTH=   110                          
      FNTATR=    1                           
      DATA =''X.                             
    :CPICOR

      ASCIIFNT=  222                         
/*    FNTWTH=   84              ORIG ONE */  
      FNTWTH=   96                           
      FNTATR=    1                           
      DATA =''X.                             
    :CPICOR

/***  FNTWTH=   84                  ORIG ONE ***/      
      FNTWTH=   72                                     
      FNTATR=    1                                     
      DATA =''X.

                Any chance of a workstation customizing object?  I get
complaints from 
                my laser printer users that everything is too small, so
I remove the 
                customizing object and show them what small really is :)
