Problem

Using the Russian Language Module to print out cyrillic characters to a HP Laserjet 4 just prints out garbage characters.

Answer:

The Russian language module contains two scalable soft fonts for HP Scalable printers - WPGelvetsky & WPRomanov. The soft fonts had been marked with both an asterisk and a plus in the Select Printer: Soft Fonts screen under the WP Cyrillic (Scalable) Font Group. Either removing the asterisk or initializing the printer (Shft-F7, 7) fixed the problem.

Details:

The fonts were marked as present in printer memory. Removing the asterisk from the fonts caused the soft font to get downloaded during the print job.
