Greg is right, although it

Greg is right, although it is a little weird that browsers don't print as shown on the screen. One possibility is to have the user fill out the form, submit it, then output a nicely formatted HTML page for printing.

In general forms are

In general forms are designed to be filled out, not printed. They are for input, not output.

I'm telling it to only

I'm telling it to only display 30 characters because on a webpage you can scroll. You can't scroll on a print-out. It seems pretty obtuse for the browser to not handle that gracefully.

Submitting to a new page sounds like a good idea.

What exactly are you wanting

What exactly are you wanting to work around? You are telling to only display 30 characters and that is what it is doing.

The only thing I can think of is somehow you have a "Print" button that calls javascript which changes the properties on the form fields, issues a print, then changes them back, but not sure if SIZE is something you can modify that way... Be interesting to see if people have a solution.

The better one I can think of is have print actually submit to a page specifically to be printed.
