Hi all, I want to print a text file to
a printer but in the legacy 'wide' format
if you know what I mean. 132 columns

So now it has to kinda compress horizontally.
What is the best font for this? How do I
init this or setup the printer canvas?.

By the way I am using the normal windows printer,
in that I am not using direct printer commands
like in the old day.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
Colin!
