I'm sure that this isn't the first or last time this question is asked on
the network.

The VMS print symbiont decides how wide to make the header page based upon
the width of the form on which it is printing.

If your printouts are printing on DEFAULT forms a command something like

$ define/form default 0/width=90 ! see HELP DEFINE/FORM


OR IF YOU DON'T WANT THE HEADERS AT ALL, TURN THEM OFF.   This is much easier
than modifying them if they are considered a "waste of paper".
