I'd like to avoid modifying dozens of 4GL program if I can.

Thanks,

  We set up raw printers and include pcl codes in the report output,
"ESC&k3G" to map <cr> to <cr><nl> has been most important.

  We are having pagination issues with all of our 4GL reports.  The reports
are all in text format.  The global output format of all our report is:



  top margin 2

  bottom margin 2

  page length 66

  left margin 0



  The headings on our reports drops down a few lines after every page.   I
use the CUPS recommended printer driver "postscript" for our HP Laserjet
printers.  I tried setting different lpi's (6, 7, 8 etc) but it didn't work.
The margins are currently set at (cpi) top 54 bott 57 left 24 right 24.   We
were previously on SCO and we used the HP PCL5 "model script" it came with
(/usr/spool/lp/model/HPLaserJet).



  Info:

  cups-1.1.17-13.3.27

  cups-libs-1.1.17-13.3.27



  Has anyone had this problem?  Any suggestions is appreciated.
