Is there a fix for Windows XP (Word2000) to pick up

dot matrix printer?

The Windows XP Model 2023 driver doesn't pick them
up.. No other driver is to be located. Fonts are
the standard Courier, Draft and Bold, 10, 12, 15,
17 cpi, etc.


Font embedding is limited to fonts that are on the computer (OpenType,
Type 1, and TrueType). And then it's dependent on the embedding
permissions embodied within those fonts. There is no means for
transferring anything from other devices, such as printers.

As a matter of curiosity, from within your Word document, how are you
telling the printer what fonts to use?

These printer-fonts (embedded in the printer, and from the printer)
are always offered as selections in the Fonts window pull-down menu
(located between the style pull-down menu and the type-point-size
pull-down menu) in the Word2000 header toolbar, With Win95 and Win98,
when the KX-P2023 printer has been found connected. And since they
are only a fixed type-hight and width, they can only be typed in
Word2000 in their one size.

(Also, this WinXP driver does not like recognize specified margins
when special paper width sizes are specified other than the standard
widths offered in the Word2000 paper width selection box, -- and
presents an error message, "Print area specified is outside printing
area", and then prints usually off-page -- unless the document paper
width is re-set to a standard width, like 'letter', and the right
margin is pulled in to compensate, to the previous place on the page,
to make the copy lines the previous correct length.)
