SYMPTOMS
When you print underlined text formatted for a TrueType font to the
Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4 printer, the underline may extend
beyond the underlined text.
CAUSE
This happens if all the following conditions exist:
- The printer resolution setting is 600 dots per inch (dpi).
- The Print TrueType As Graphics check box is not selected. (This
means you are downloading the TrueType fonts to the printer.)
- You are using version 31.1.03 of the HP LaserJet 4/4M printer driver
(HPPCL5E.DRV). This version of the driver does not support the 600 dpi
resolution setting and produces inaccurate TrueType font sizes.
Downloaded TrueType fonts print too small with the 600 dpi setting;
therefore, the underline character extends past the end of the text.
RESOLUTION
This problem was corrected in version 31.1.08 of HPPCL5E.DRV.
The updated HP LaserJet 4/4M printer driver is available from Hewlett-
Packard.
As a temporary workaround, select the Print TrueType As Graphics check box
in the printer driver Options dialog box.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in HPPCL5E.DRV version
31.1.03. This problem does not occur in later versions of the driver.
