This article was previously published under Q83338

SUMMARY

Downloading TrueType fonts as PCL fonts to Hewlett-Packard (HP) printers developed prior to the LaserJet Series II printers is not supported in Microsoft Windows version 3.1. Such printers include the original HP LaserJet, the HP LaserJet Plus, and the HP LaserJet 500+. On these printers, True Type fonts are printed as raster graphics.

MORE INFORMATION

The HP LaserJet Series II printers and subsequent HP printers, including the HP LaserJet III family, can either download TrueType fonts or print them as raster graphics. This ability is controlled by the Print TrueType As Graphics check box in the printer driver's Options dialog box. Downloading TrueType fonts is the default selection. This results in the quickest printing times because less data must be sent to the printer.
