Try making the platten width larger.  The maximum is 16 inches.  The
command is oa-O and then PW, I think.

It won't look any different on the screen, but it should print out more
on the printer.

SuperFonts was made mainly for dot-matrix printers.  I don't think it
would be able to output the printer's built-in fonts.  Its bit-mapped
fonts might not look perfect on the laser printer.
