= SUMMARY =

When printing to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet printer using downloadable fonts, if only Courier prints or you receive a partial output, check for the following:

  If you are capturing a screen image using Novell PRINTCON-defined print job configurations, the file contents field must be set to Byte Stream, not Text. If a time-out value is set, it should be a large one (20 to 40 seconds) to allow the job to be fully captured before it is sent to the spooler. This ensures that the font files and the print file are sent to the print queue together without any end-of-file/reset codes being sent before the file itself, which could reset the printer (and remove the font files).   If you are capturing using command parameters with the Capture command, set the job to Byte Stream through the NT parameter and the time-out through the TI parameter. For example: capture nt ti=30 p=1 q=printq_1 The Capture command is invoked from either the command line or a login script. If the command is used without parameters, for example, capture it will capture the default print configuration defined by PRINTCON (discussed above) or, if none exists, it uses Novell’s default settings (Text, Banner enabled, No time-out, Autoendcap enabled).   If increasing the time-out does not work, execute the following command from Library Run in Word: capture na ti=0 After about a minute, type the following from Library Run: endcap If this works correctly, increase the time-out value of your Capture command.
