SUMMARY
Documents formatted for the font Brougham, point size 12, and &quot;Auto&quot; line spacing in Microsoft Word for Windows are incorrectly spaced when using the Brother HL-8 printer driver (BROHL.DRV).

MORE INFORMATION
The Brother HL-8 printer emulates the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Series II. The Brother's internal Brougham font is equivalent to the LaserJet's Courier font, which is normally spaced at 6 lines per inch. The Brother driver sets &quot;Auto&quot; line spacing for the Brougham 12-point font to 5 lines per inch instead of 6 lines per inch.

WORKAROUND
To obtain the correct line spacing when using the Brougham 12-point font, format the text for &quot;Single&quot; line spacing instead of &quot;Auto&quot; in the Format Paragraph menu.

Brother has confirmed this to be a problem with its BROHL.DRV driver version 1.0, which is included in the Microsoft Windows version 3.0 Supplemental Driver Library.
