Unable to Print TrueType Fonts on Novell Network (84886)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q84886

SYMPTOMS

You can't print TrueType fonts when running Microsoft Windows on a Novell network.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if the PRINTCON.DAT file is not in the SYS directory for your Novell network installation. One of the functions of PRINTCON.DAT is to set up the default data stream type. Without a PRINTCON.DAT file, the default is a "TEXT" data stream.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, use the Novell PRINTCON utility to generate a PRINTCON.DAT file with a default data stream of "BITSTREAM". Once this is done, TrueType fonts should print normally.
