Font Assistant Does Not Print Sample Page with HP LaserJet 4

ID: Q97478

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11
Microsoft TrueType Font Pack II

SYMPTOMS

When you use the printer driver for the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4 printer, you cannot print sample font pages from the Font Assistant. When you try to print a sample page for a font from the Font Assistant, the page contains the following information:

The header, which contains font-specific information (such as the font name, copyright information, file size, and version).

The body of the page, which contains five lines of sample text displaying the point sizes 18, 24, 36, 48, and 60.

If you use the LaserJet 4 printer driver version 31.01.03, the text in the header is garbled and the sample lines are truncated, except for the 60- point font sample, which prints correctly.

If you use the LaserJet 4 printer driver version 31.01.08, only the 60- point font sample prints. All other sample page text is missing.

When the font list is printed using the Font Assistant and the LaserJet 4 driver version 31.v1.08, the following characters may print as a blank space:

m w k h M W K H

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the HP LaserJet III printer driver. This is the only workaround available at this time.
