I am trying to use an HP LaserJet (the original, not the Plus
or the -II) as a replacement for a line printer.  I have lots
of large files that are nothing more than lines, no form-feeds.
These files are expected to be printed on a real line printer
with 66 lines per page.  So every 60 lines or so, there are a
couple of blank lines.  

These files print just fine on a real line printer, but I have
not been able to set the LaserJet up to emulate a printer with
66 lines per-page.  I have the proper font cartridge, and here
is the setup sequence I sent to the printer (? is an ESC):

	?(s0ps16.67hs8.5vs0ss0T?&l1ol1el6.1867C

The problem is that with a vertical motion of 6.1867, the lines
would slowly move down the page so that after 10 pages or so, I'd
lose a line on the bottom.  If I use a value of 6.1866, then the
lines would creep up on the page.  Since only 4 decimal digits
are allowed, I see no other way to control this.

I'd appreciate any help/suggestion anyone may have on how to
set this up.  Thanks.
