MS-DOS

Summary:

When printing to a Toshiba P351 printer using proportional fonts such as PrestigePS and CourierPS, incorrect spacing, incorrect margins, and other incorrect printing may occur. The Microsoft Word version 5.0 printer driver, TOSHP351.PRD, is not sending the correct escape sequences to the printer.

An application note is available that contains a corrected printer driver for the Toshiba P351. The application note is titled “Revised Toshiba P351 Printer Driver,” and can be obtained from Microsoft Product Support Services by calling (206) 454-2030.

The driver is also available in DWXTO0 in the Software/Data Library and can be found by searching for Q45512 or S12806. DWXTO0 was archived using the PKware file-compression utility.

DWXTO0.EXE and DW0206.EXE are the filenames that contain the Toshiba P351 PRDs on the Microsoft Download Service (MSDL).

This problem was correct in Word version 5.0. Support for the Toshiba P351 is shipped with Word version 5.5.
