We have setup a new printer HP-LJM404DN for iSeries printing. We can only print AS400 report with length defined as 132 but the print out is overlapped for reports configured with length > 132. eg. 178 characters. Any recommendation to resolve this issue is much appreciated.

I'm not sure what you mean by the printout is overlapped. Are all 178 characters squeezed into one line and each and every letter is overlapping the preceding letter, or is the line wrapping and being overlaid with characters from the next line, or something else?
