Subject:PageMaker 6.52 to HP 8550--problems? solutions? From:"Dick Margulis" <margulis -at- mail -dot- fiam -dot- net> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 26 Jan 2001 17:29:37 -0500
Hi. Yes, I know it's 5:30 Friday and hardly anyone is looking at techwr-l, but HE-E-E-E-L-L-L-L-P.
We just had an HP 8550 GN installed today, and it is garbling everything I send it from PageMaker. All the text is tracked wrong (way wrong), and it is substituting Courier, seemingly at random, for various fonts in various places. Some colors are funky, too.
All of these documents printed fine on the 8500.
I've downloaded and installed the latest drivers (HP's suggestion)on the server and installed the latest PPD on my client. I've twiddled every PS-related menu option I can find on both the printer control panel and the driver, and nothing has changed. Any thoughts? (Both the server and client machines are running NT 4.)
Thanks,
Dick
