HP LaserJet III And Bitstream |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: A customer asked if Bitstream would work with the new HP LaserJet III printer. I found that in Bitstream, if you add the device for the HP2000 BEFORE going into the "View Control Panel" to find your printer, then the HP LaserJet III will appear as a selection. The LaserJet III is not actually supported with Bitstream. The reason the driver shows up in 5.0 is because the Soft Font Format Type is listed as the HP 2000. The fonts that can be generated are for portrait and landscape only. No scalable fonts can be created. With 5.1, the user must first go into the PTR program and change the .ALL file Soft Font Format Type from HP LASERJET III to HP LASERJET 2000 before following the instructions above. This is because the Soft Font Format type in 5.0 IS listed already as the HP Laserjet 2000 but in 5.1 it is actually listed as the new HP LaserJet III. See memo #WALL_8568C for information on Bitstream support of the HP LaserJet III. Under 5.1, HP's Type Director 2.0 (available now from HP) has support for the LaserJet III. |
