screen dumps from a UNIXPC to HP Laserjet

I need a little assistance.
I borrowed a HP laserjetII printer and successfully hooked it up to
my 3B1. It prints fine, but when I produce screen dumps (shift-print),
the aspect ratio of the output is all wrong. The resulting images are
compressed vertically and need to be expanded by a factor of 1.5 (150%).
(or the horizontal dimension needs to be shrunk!) I'm trying to produce
some images for a manual I am putting together, so the proper appearance
is important.
The images in the UNIX-PC manuals sure look like they were produced on a
laser printer and the aspect ratio is pretty good. Has anyone solved this
problem before? Is there some setup for the printer which can deal with
this (nothing was mentioned in the user's manual I had) or more likely, is
there a filter I could hook into the lp driver to reformat the output.
So far, I have been unable to track down anyone at AT&T who was involved
with the production of the UNIX-PC manuals. If someone who reads this
note knows how those figures were produced, I would really appreciate
hearing from you.
Thanks.
