Re: Fonts not available for use

It will depend on the printer and driver. For my LJ4100, the setting is at
General | Printing Preferences | Details with one driver and General |
Printing Preferences | Advanced with another. For the DJ6122, there is no
setting that I can find. This is under Windows XP. Under Windows 2000, I had
different drivers with different settings. So ymmv.

I see nothing in properties regarding fonts.

The information you posted from printer Properties had to do with the
drivers, not font settings. There are often settings specifically
regarding
fonts (telling the printer to download them as "soft fonts" or "bitmaps,"
for example).

Re: Printer Properties - that's where I got the info I posted before.
Re: True Type Fonts - it's not checked.
Any other suggestions? I'll take all the help I can get!

Go to Start | Settings | Printers, right-click on your printer and
choose
Properties. Explore the various tabs.

Also, in the Fonts folder, go to Tools | Folder Options | TrueType
Fonts
and
make sure that "Show only TrueType fonts in the programs on my
computer"
is
not checked.

How can I tell what the printer driver settings are or whether it's
configured to use internal fonts? The only driver info I can find
says
it's
for Intel Windows 2000 or XP, the processor is hpzpp3xt, and the
Default
Data
Type is RAW. Under "About" it says the driver file is HPW98003.GPD
dated
5.12.2005.
I used to use Lucida Handwriting a lot, but it doesn't come with
Office
Basic. So I was looking for some type of script or anything similar.
There
are a few shown in the Fonts folder, but the only ones listed for
use
are
all
basic lettering.

This is the same printer I used with Word 2003. What changed?

Word's relationship with the printer driver is very close - much
more

than most other software - and provides its ability to format the
document.
If the fonts are not displayed it suggests that active printer
driver
cannot
print the fonts from Word. Word will not for example display screen
fonts
nor will it display Adobe fonts if it is switched to use only
Truetype
fonts. If the printer is configured to use its internal fonts, it
may
only
display those. Check your printer driver settings. What are the
fonts
that
it does not display?

The printer checkmarked under Printers and Faxes as the default

the one I always print to. When I print from Word, that's the
printer
it defaults to. I tried opening a document and changing the
printer
to another one in our office, but the list of fonts did not
change.

It is not the fact that you have a printer or driver installed
but
that the active printer in Word is a printer that can print the
fonts. By default the active printer will be the Windows default
printer. Check your print dialog and see what the active printer
is.

Your link just re-states the potential printer driver problem.
I'm
not using a generic driver, I'm using the driver from my
installation disk. I also deleted the printer altogether and
reinstalled it. If it's still a printer problem, what other
driver
should I install?

I recently upgrades computers and now have Office 2007 Basic

Windows XP, previously had 2003. I have very limited fonts in
my
drop-down list now. More are listed in the font folder, but I
can't seem to use them. I am using the same printer as
always.
The driver is correct, but I even uninstalled and reinstalled
the
printer for the heck of it, didn't fix it. The fonts are
available in Excel and print correctly from that program. I
can
also open and print the fonts from the font folder. I tried
typing the font name to use it, but it doesn't come up with
the
correct font.
