Didn't get involved myself, but the former Vantage admin changed something
in the Vantage.ini file to change font size, as I recall.

I've never tried this... but supposedly you can change ReptLPP and
ReptFont in Vantage.ini to a larger font that would stretch the same
number of columns (~132) across a page landscape style, and fewer lines per
page to fit down 8.5".

However, there's no way to tell Vantage / Progress to force the printer to
landscape. So you'll have to have a print driver setup with that as the
default page orientation.
