| | one font prints garbage on one printer On Vista Ultimate, printing to one printer (HP LaserJet 2100), one font prints garbage. Other fonts print just fine to the printer. The troublesome font prints fine on another printer (Xerox 440 copier/network printer). How can I fix this? Thank you. Jerry |

| | RE: one font prints garbage on one printer From the same PC to another printer (HP CLJ 4700), it prints garbage. To make things more confusing, from another computer (Vista Business), the troublesome font prints fine to the 4700, but garbage to the 2100. So, one computer can print fine some times, but not always. And one printer can print fine some times, but not always. Here is what I am trying to print: "This is Tiffany Hv BT." This is sort of what gets printed in one case: "Fr om om Fol T-D ev : Fh" I hope someone can make sense of this because it is starting to cause my head to spin.

| | Re: one font prints garbage on one printer I see the Xerox uses PostScript drivers. The HP LJ 2100 can use a variety of PCL or PS drivers. Verify that both printer are using comparable drivers (both PostScript, same level, for example) and check the font substitution settings in the printer driver settings dialogues. -- Tom MSMVP 1998-2007 "JerryK" <JerryK@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:AEBBE501-E358-4432-847E-6E259577D54C@xxxxxx Quote: > On Vista Ultimate, printing to one printer (HP LaserJet 2100), one font > prints garbage.
