Downloading Fonts To HP DeskJet Plus (Network |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer is unable to download Bitstream Fontware fonts (or other soft fonts) to a network printer. The user has an HP DeskJet Plus printer and is running on a Novell network. When he goes into Control Printer, there is no indication that WordPerfect has even made an attempt to download the fonts. Solutions: WordPerfect does not allow you to use the Initialize Printer feature when a network queue (i.e., PrintQ) is selected as the port. This occurs so that one user does not download fonts over another user's fonts. It is best to have only one person download fonts and have everyone use those fonts on the network. Another solution is to mark soft fonts with a + (plus) instead of an * (asterisk) or *+ (both). This allows the font to be downloaded with the print job and can be removed by another user without affecting anyone's print job. In the case of DeskJet printers, this is not possible since soft fonts can only be marked with an *. In this situation, a CAPTURE command could be used and the port should be set to an actual LPT port in WordPerfect. This keeps WordPerfect from recognizing the network and allows the download to occur. Another solution is to have the person that downloads the fonts log in with the {WP user initials. This gives them supervisor rights to WordPerfect and allows them to download the fonts. |
