Greetings collected eroff minds,

I'm using Elan's troff, eroff, on a Sun3/60 to print documentation. 
Unfortunately I'm having trouble printing full-page "pic" diagrams on an 
HP-2000.  Using portrait mode, half-page or smaller diagrams within
text files are not a problem, but full-page diagrams abort after
printing only the left-hand side of the page (see below).

             _____________
            | xxxxx       |
            | -----       |
            | |           |    "xxxxx" denotes the left half of the
            | -----       |    header and footer.  The rest denotes
            |     |       |    the incomplete pic diagram.
            | -----       |
            | |           |
            | -----       |
            | xxxxx       |
             -------------

The problem does not seem to be a printer memory problem.  The soft
fonts we have loaded are at the minimum 270K.

Thanks for any help or suggestions,
Colleen
