Printing

Post by Richard Bird »

I have a problem printing from TextPad (and no other application) with my HP 1100 PhotoSmart. Basically, the default fixed pitch font (courier) will not print with the correct kerning/spacing - and other fixed pitch fonts have the same problem. Words just print all over eachother - even though the print preview is OK.

Reinstalling the printer driver doesn't solve the problem

Has anyone had this problem - or have a solution?

TIA

Richard,

We've got exactly the same printer here, and TextPad 4.4 prints on it correctly. Using all defaults, the screen font is 10pt Courier (a screen-only font), so 10pt Courier New is selected for the printer. This works OK from Windows 98 and Windows 2000, using the latest drivers from HP's web site.
