Kurt, thank you so far, cups options "lpi=6.33 cpi 11.4" did it (well, almost). I was on the right track all the time, but i used lpi=6 and cpi=12, which was completely ignored.

Remaining problem now is the height of the characters ,the HP-escape for this is <escape>(s6V. This sets the height of the characters to 6 (dont know the unit here). If i dont set the height, the job will continue on a 2nd page, which is not what i want.

The biggest problem however is that the printer prints german umlauts instead of vertical or horizontal dashes.
How do i solve these problems?
