All of these changes are in the PrintTransactionDetails Sub.
To get what you want you are going to have to combine the first two columns
Item and Description into one column.
Change this:
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "&lt;~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.29 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Item" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "&lt;" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.42 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Description" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "&gt;~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.29 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Amount" </TEXT>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ROW> "================|=========================|=================" </ROW>
To this:
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "&lt;~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.71 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Item Description" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "&gt;~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.29 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Amount" </TEXT>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ROW> "=========================================|=================" </ROW>

Then make sure there is only one "|" in each row in the TransactionDetail
section.
For instance this line of code:
<ROW> "|Discount|" Entry.ExtendedDiscountNegative </ROW>
Should be changed to:
<ROW> "Discount|" Entry.ExtendedDiscountNegative </ROW>
There several lines of code that need to changed.

Lastly modify this line of code:
<ROW> Entry.Item.ItemLookupCode "|" Entry.Description "|"
Entry.ExtendedFullPrice </ROW>
and make it look like this:
<ROW> Entry.Item.ItemLookupCode "|" Entry.ExtendedFullPrice </ROW>
<ROW> Entry.Description "|" Entry.ExtendedFullPrice </ROW>
There are two places in the TransactionDetails section that this code should
be changed to ensure your receipt displays the format you want.

Thanks Rob, that did it. There was a slash or two missing in your code
(malformed XML), so i am posting the updated version of your advice here for
future reference:

All of these changes are in the PrintTransactionDetails Sub. To get what you
want you are going to have to combine the first two columns Item and
Description into one column.
Change this:
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "<~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.29 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Item" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "<" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.42 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Description" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> ">~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.29 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Amount" </TEXT>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ROW> "================|=========================|=================" </ROW>
To this:
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "<~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.71 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Item Description" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> ">~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.29 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Amount" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>
<ROW> "=========================================|=================" </ROW>

Then make sure there is only one "|" in each row in the TransactionDetail
section. For instance this line of code:
<ROW> "|Discount|" Entry.ExtendedDiscountNegative </ROW>
Should be changed to:
<ROW> "Discount|" Entry.ExtendedDiscountNegative </ROW>
There several lines of code that need to changed.

Lastly modify this line of code:
<ROW> Entry.Item.ItemLookupCode "|" Entry.Description "|"
Entry.ExtendedFullPrice </ROW>
and make it look like this:
<ROW> Entry.Item.ItemLookupCode "|" Entry.ExtendedFullPrice </ROW>
<ROW> Entry.Description "|" Entry.ExtendedFullPrice </ROW>
There are two places in the TransactionDetails section that this code should
be changed to ensure your receipt displays the format you want.

Is it possible for you to send me as an attachment the *.xml file you created
for forcing receipt to use 2 lines?
I'm having trouble finding and making the changes you list in Notepad or
Wordpad.
