when print a file with qprt and and set the pitch to "-p 8" I get an error:

0782-598 The value 1 specified in the validate op V in the
limits field for _p attribute indicates failure

The command line is:

qprt -p8 -Pprinter1 file_name

what am i doing wrong?
 
I think the minimum pitch is 10 as shown in the man qprt

Code:
-p Pitch
            Sets the number of characters per inch. Typical values for Pitch
            are 10 and 12. The actual pitch of the characters printed is also
            affected by the values for the -K (condensed) flag and the -W
            (double-wide) flag.

            If you are printing an ASCII file on a PostScript printer, this
            flag determines the character point size. You can specify positive
            numbers greater than or equal to 1.

qprt -p8 -Pprinter1 file_name

or

qprt -p 8 -Pprinter1 file_name

?

Both forms ("-p8" and "-p 8") result in the same error.
