This article was previously published under Q86025

SUMMARY

When you print Microsoft Windows version 3.1 TrueType fonts at large point sizes greater than 90 point to early model Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet series II printers or compatibles, you may need to select the Print TrueType Fonts As Graphics option from the Control Panel Printers option.

This problem is caused by a BIOS limitation in early model LaserJet II printers and some compatibles. Fonts smaller than 80 or 90 point do not require the Print TrueType Fonts As Graphics option.
