Problem

Symptoms: The user is printing to the HP LaserJet IID printer. If he selects the HP IID additional driver (HPLAIAD.PRS), the printer prints his table in about 4 minutes. If the customer selects the HP LaserJet Series II additional driver (HPLSEIIAD.PRS), the printer takes about 60 seconds to print the same table. Solutions: This table contains line draw characters, and it is printing in landscape orientation. Since the HP IID printer can rotate fonts, it is able to remain in the initial font, Prestige Elite, for landscape printing. This font does not have any line draw characters, so the HP IID additional driver sends codes to the printer for the characters to print graphically. The HP LaserJet Series II, however, cannot rotate fonts, and the cartridge that the customer selected in the HP Series II driver does not have a Prestige Elite font in Landscape. So, WP chooses an AFC for landscape, which is the Line Printer font. Line Printer does have the line draw characters, so the characters don't have to be printed graphically. Since the line draw characters for the Line Printer font don't need to be printed graphically, they print faster than the characters created graphically with the Prestige Elite font selected.
