Can I get a long line of text, 60in, printed on HPLJ III with
TeX/LaTeX?
With \documentstyle[times]{*}, I can use 
\newfont{\jumbo}{ptmr scaled 15000} to make jumbo letters. The problem
is when the letters are so big, I got too many hyphenations on one
page even if I use \special{landscape} and \textwidth 11in.

I guees if I used \textwidth 60in I would get hbox_overfull messages
and would not be able to print out across the pages. How to have TeX
go across pages and forget about line justification or linebreak?
