Hi there, folks.

I am the proud owner (well, ok, MANAGER) of a nifty turbo LPS20 printer.
(damned nice, that..).

Anyway, the printer is very good at doing what you tell it--
i.e., I have been able to crank out real nice POSTSCRIPT documents,
as well as other stuff.

My first need, however, is quite simple....   

I have several large *ASCII* text files that I want to print, but
I would like to use a somewhat smaller FONT than the "default"
font used for ANSI-type files.

Is there some simple (equivalent) way to set this up for a LPS20?    

I've previously had a lot of experience setting up HP printers
with system device control libraries (I had to consult my HP
technical book, manually edit in some font types, etc).  However,
I am unfamiliar with what "text size" (etc) escape sequences
to use for the ANSI mode in the LPS20.

Has some kind soul out there done some work on this?
