Problem

Symptoms: Word spacing problems occur when printing with a cartridge or soft font when the same font is internal on the HP LaserJet 4 printer. Solutions: If the customer uses a font from a cartridge or a soft font that is already available internally on the printer, there may be spacing problems. For example: When a Times Roman 12pt (Pro) font is selected in WP, WP will space the words of the document based on the PS width information for that font, but the printer will print this font using the internal CG Times 12pt font. The width information for the two fonts is slightly different. The result is that the HP printer will print using one font, and WP will space for another. This is not a WP problem, but was a design decision made by HP, where if a font asked for already exists as an internal 600dpi scalable font, it uses it instead of the cartridge or soft font. If you set the resolution to 300dpi (This can be done by selecting Text Quality to Draft in WP), the cartridge or soft font will be selected. NOTE: Customers cannot use Draft Text Quality with High Graphics Quality (Refer to HP LaserJet 4 Printer Helps and Hints). If this is attempted, the graphics will get bigger inside the graphic box and overflow the edges of the box. If users have further questions or complaints, they should be referred to HP support.
