HP Type Director and HP LaserJet IID (or II D |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: A customer was using HP Type Director with WordPerfect 5.1 and could not access the fonts. The customer's printer is an HP LaserJet IID and the WP program (.EXE) date is 11/06/89. Apparently, when HP created the Type Director program, they wrote it to look for an HP LaserJet II D (a space appears between the II and D). The WP driver lists this printer as HP LaserJet IID (note that there is no space between the II and the D). Without the space between the II and the D, Type Director does not recognize the printer name. The workaround for this situation is to change the printer name in the .ALL printer file. To rename the printer, use the following steps: 1. Enter the PTR Program, retrieve the .ALL file, and change the printer name to reflect Type Director's name 2. Exit the PTR Program and save the file. After making this change, the fonts can be successfully added to the .ALL file. The reason the name must be correct is that Type Director creates Non-shareable font libraries. Non-shareable libraries are created and named with the name of the printer. |
