Word 5.50: Graphics Not Printing in Landscape Orientation

PSS ID Number: Q68083 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

5.50

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

When using a downloadable font printer driver for Word version 5.00 or a Bitstream 2.00 LaserJet printer driver with Word version 5.50, graphics will not print in landscape orientation.

This problem does not occur when using the Hewlett-Packard (HP) downloadable LaserJet printer drivers available on the Word 5.50 Supplemental Printers disks. The Supplemental Printers disks for Word 5.50 can be obtained from Microsoft Sales Information Center at (800) 426-9400.

The Bitstream 2.00 printer drivers can be corrected by using the MergePRD utility to add the Bitstream soft fonts to a standard Word 5.50 printer driver.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If you are using an HP LaserJet IID, IIP, 2000, III, or IIID, merge the Bitstream printer driver with the standard Word 5.50 printer driver (HPLASER.PRD).

If you are using the HP LaserJet Original, Plus, 500, or Series II, merge the Bitstream driver with a Word 5.50 landscape printer driver such as HPLASLAN.PRD.

Instructions for using the MergePRD utility to merge printer drivers can be found in Chapter 5 of the “Printer Information for Microsoft Word” version 5.50 manual. See the instructions on page 291 under the heading “To combine fonts from different PRD files.”
