Thus spoke Peter Seebach:
> Yeah, what's non-standard about A4?
A4 is just a german standard for Paper sized 210 x 297 mm^2
It's a little bit too short to be 12 inch, so
you must program the printer a little bit to
get 72 Lines per page (minus 3 on top minus 3 on buttom to get 66 Lines,
which seems to be a standard. Countless ascii-files are structured in
a way that 66 Lines @ 80 Columns are on page.
The generic-laser-printer usese 64 lines pagelenght for DIN-A4 Paper,
so the either the page-structures get lost or you double the number of pages:
one with 64 lines, one with 2 lines Contents and 62 lines empty.
