Hi all in this forum. I'm new here! I recently find you in Google.

I still using the old DOS 7.10 in 4 oldies AMD 486's

I currently want to know if there exist any way to change/set the page size in an also old HP 4L laserjet printer.

Many thanks in advance, and sorry if my English is not too good.


:-D

You can probably find the printer control language in the manual and send appropriate codes to the LPT port using Qbasic, to set modes and fonts and size etc.
