Okay, here's the deal, you cannot specify both characters per line AND
rows per page.
a2ps probably cannot find a font to fit the bill. So pick one. Most
likely you'll want
the chars-per-line to prevent wrapping. So the command to use would be:
a2ps --chars-per-line=132 -R --medium=Letter --columns=1 --rows=1
filename
I am not sure if the --rows=1 is needed. The --medium is needed if
Letter is
not the default medium. The default is A4 unless you compiled a2ps
yourself
and specified Letter during the configuration phase.
cheers and happy printing.

I need to configure a 132 char by 60 line greenbar paper printout to
print
on 8.5 x 11 letter paper 1 input page to 1 output page portrait
orientation.
Can anyone help me get this configuration right? I have it working with
landscape, but the boss would like it portrait. We used to do this on
an
HPLJ5 using PCL. We are now using a PS only printer and need this to
work.
