Re: DeskJet 63 lines per page

According to the HP DeskJet Owner's Manual, there is a feature called
"Text Scale Mode" that will allow you to print 66 lines per sheet (at 6 lpi)
or 88 lines per sheet (at 8 lpi).  This is done by using the escape
sequence    ESC & k 6 W      (to enable it)
	    ESC & k 5 W      (to disable it)

When enabled, it slightly compresses the interline spacing so that 66 (or 88)
lines are printed per page.  The bottom half-inch is still not used for
printing.  Most readers of such a page will not notice the subterfuge.

This feature can be turned on permanently by setting mode function switch
B1 in the UP position (see your manual for details).

Hope this helps.
