Yep, it worked for me. I'm printing on an HP Laserjet 5i. The escape codes I used are labeled as laserjet codes in my reference, so this wouldn't be a portable solution. It would only work on a laserjet or compatible. I think if I were faced with your situation, I'd probably go the route Mike Helland recommended and use two columns. Sometimes I have to help my clients save themselves from themselves.
