Thanks for your assistance.

So there is no module, nor setup with ANSI escape sequences that solve
that.

I agree with you it would be desirable to have at least the option for
selecting font substitution instead of scaling the space of characters.

DCPS, as we all know, allow many printing options lasers can do, but I
thought the minimum needed was to be compatible with their old printers
in the very same exact way. Just take the old hardware out, just put
new one.

"Note that while dot matrix printers can print on the whole width of
the
paper, laser printers can't. So count on a width of 8 inches instead of

8.5 inches. That yields a 4.36 postscript point width for each
character. "

This matter is not a problem. It's already solved with PCL using Line
Printer at 16.65 plus aditional escapes ( ESC(0N ESC(sp16.67h8.5vsb0T
ESC&k7.08H) . With that one you can print with PCL printers the
ordinary listing of 132 col * 66 lines.

We'll see if there is any other solution.
