Need Help with LaserJet+

I am running UNIX Sys V and I am having a problem with
a HP LaserJet+ trying to use the Portrait Compressed Line
Printer font. I am trying to get the most information I
can on one piece of paper so I am attempting to use the
full 132 col by 84 lines on a page. According to the manuals
(both Operators and Technical Ref.) I can set the page size
to 88 and the text size to 84. Any attempt to set the page
size to greater than 66 is ignored although I can set the
page size to be less than 66.
Here is the section of the code that initializes the printer:
echo "\033E\c" # Reset printer
# Portrait Compressed Line Printer Font
echo "\033&l0O\033(8U\033(s0p16.66h8.5v0s0b0T"
echo "\033&l88P" # Page Length 88 Lines
echo "\033&l8D" # 8 Lines Per Inch
echo "\033&l2E" # Top Margin Line 2
echo "\033&l84F" # Text Length 84 Lines
# This doesn't work either
echo "\033&l2e5.647c89F\033&k2S"
Anyone see what I am doing wrong? The font appears correctly.
The printer uses the full page when told to use 6 LPI.
Please respond by Email and I will summarize to the net.
Thanks in advance.
