how to change font size?

[dbase77]

Hi,

I setup HP network printer using hpnpl package from HP site. How do I go about changing the font size as when I print some report it went off the margin. I tried on other unix system and it print just fine. Anybody like to share their experience in printing? by the way, I'm printing as landscape.

Thank you in advance.

regards,
feroz

Hi, I use the postprint command to adjust font size and make the default portrait toggle to landscape for our HP printers:

/usr/lib/lp/postscript/postprint -pland -s8 <filename> | lp -d <printername>

where <filename> is an ascii file. This may not be the best solution but it works. The -s8 is what makes it go to 8-point. I think the default is 10. See the man page on it.

Hi,

Thank you for replying. I'm printing from third party application. The only option I have is to set like &quot; lp -d printername&quot;. I wonder if I can surpress so that it will fit into A4 paper landscape.

What type of printer it is? try with,

#lp -d printername -olandscape -oc filename...

This command will print in compress mode...
