Problem

The customer creates a document on her computer with the Canon BJ-130 printer selected, saves it on disk, and takes it to a computer which has an HP LaserJet Series II printer selected. However, when she tries to print, the hard drive light stays on and Printer Control indicates that printing is taking place, but the document never prints.

Answer:

The customer had selected a 12cpi font on the system with the Canon BJ-130 printer selected. A 12cpi font does not exist on the HP LaserJet Series II printer (unless the customer is using a cartridge or soft font), except for the Line Draw fonts that are included in the driver. However, these fonts do not have any ASCII characters and since there is not a font close enough in size for WP to access the characters from, WP is required to print the characters graphically. The work around is to unmark the Line Draw fonts in the built-in font list, so WP will go to Courier 10cpi (Shift-F7, S, E, 4), or buy a cartridge or soft font that has a 12cpi font.
