Windows printing fonts are usually wider than their on-screen fonts,
which is why the wrap is changing. Try setting the right margin of the
field to 0 when formatForPrinting is true and see if that stops the
extra wrapping. You may also need to set the printMargins so that the
right margin is smaller; for example, set printMargins to "72,72,30,72".
