This article was previously published under Q93235

SYMPTOMS

Printing TrueType fonts on the C. Itoh CI-4, or Kodak Ekta Plus 7008 printer in landscape orientation while emulating the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet IIP results in incorrect output. Portrait orientation is not affected and TrueType fonts print correctly.

CAUSE

There is no specific driver available for this printer from either Microsoft or Kodak. According to Kodak technical support, the problem occurs when the printer is using the primary emulation of the HP LaserJet IIP. It does not occur when using the HP LaserJet Series II driver supplied with Windows 3.1.

WORKAROUND

Kodak recommends two workarounds: using the HP LaserJet Series II driver, or selecting Print TrueType As Graphics.

Selecting Print TrueType As Graphics

  1. Run the Control Panel.
  2. Choose the Printers icon.
  3. Select the HP LaserJet IIP.
  4. Choose the Setup button.
  5. Choose the Options button.
  6. Select the Print TrueType As Graphics check box.
