= SYMPTOMS =

When you print checks, a different font may be used rather than the default font, Courier New.

= CAUSE =

The problem can occur when you use the Windows Printing System as your default printer driver. The Windows Printing System is a cartridge that is specifically designed to work with Hewlett Packard (HP) LaserJet printers.

This can also occur if your system is missing the Courier New font. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

= RESOLUTION =

If you are using the Windows Printing System, you must install one of the Hewlett Packard LaserJet drivers that come with Windows 95. Do not select this as your default printer unless you do not want to use the Windows Printing System in other applications.
