This PRINTER.DB table came from the Custom Configuration Program
in Paradox 4.0 when I re-booted instead of exiting normally.  The CCP left
this table behind.

It contains all of my LaserJet setup strings.  The nomenclature in the
Name column works as follows:

PRINTER TYPE (A2):  LJ for LaserJet (or any other PCL printer)
PAPER ORIENTATION (A2):  [PO]rtrait or [LA]ndscape
PAPER SIZE (A2):  [LE]-Letter or [LG]-Legal
PAGE LENGTH (###li):  Length of page in lines followed by "li"
CHARACTERS PER INCH (##cpi):  Characters per inch followed by "cpi"
PAGE WIDTH (###ch):  Width of page in characters followed by "ch"
PAPER SOURCE (A1):  [T]ray or [M]anual on a LaserJet

Therefore, the Name "LJLaLg66li16cpi226chT" means:  LaserJet printer in
Landscape mode using Legal-size paper, page length of 66 lines, 16
characters per inch (actually 16.66 on a LaserJet), 226 character page
width, using the default paper tray.

The advantage of this naming scheme is that you can see at a glance what
you should set your page length and width to in your report once you've
chosen one of these codes.

Put this table in your Paradox 4.0 subdirectory and MAKE A COPY OF IT.
This is important since the first time you run the CCP with this table
in your directory, the CCP will display _it_ instead of building it from
scratch using the settings you've stored previously.  Of course the
settings you've already created and stored will be replaced will these
LaserJet codes from the PRINTER.DB table.  The PRINTER.DB table is
_erased_ once you exit the CCP.

The copy allows you to modify your codes "off-line".  Just make a new
"copy" of this off-line table and call it PRINTER.DB whenever you run
the CCP again to change a default setup string.

Of course there's no reason not to put in Epson codes instead if you
don't use a LaserJet.  The point is that here is the PRINTER.DB table
that Paradox builds in the CCP program all intact for you to feed back
into it the next time you enter the CCP.
