Works 2.0: Incorrect Character Spacing on HP DeskJet

PSS ID Number: Q60681 Article last modified on 06-12-1996

2.00

MS-DOS

Summary:

If you use either DESKJET1.PRD or DESKJET3.PRD on a Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet and the fourteenth character in a line is a space, the printout will include an extra space between the characters. With DESKJET2.PRD, the space is omitted and the words run together. This problem is caused by a defect in the version 2.0 Microsoft Works for MS-DOS print engine.

This problem also will occur if you use HP DeskJet printer drivers on the DeskJet 500 with the CGTimes font, or any Times Roman font using ASCII width table 11.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 2.0 of Works for MS-DOS. This problem was corrected in Works files built on and after 3/25/91.

If you encounter this problem, contact Microsoft Product Support Services.
