= SUMMARY =

When printing to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet printer with an HP Tax cartridge, all normal weighted text following text formatted as Helvetica 10 point will print bold.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The HPLASTAX.PRD printer driver does not properly reset the bold attribute after printing text formatted for Helvetica 10. To correct the problem, use the MakePRD utility to convert the existing binary PRD file (HPLASTAX.PRD) to a text file.

  Use the MakePRD utility to convert the HPLASTAX.PRD file into a text file by typing: MAKEPRD -T HPLASTAX.PRD HPLASTAX.DOC   Load Word and open the HPLASTAX.DOC text file.   Search for the following text in the file: FontName: Helvetica Look for the following text somewhere above that line: FontSize:20 Wtps:W3 W3 W3 W3 (This line will have different numbers in 5.5) beginmod:1 “[(U[(s4t10vs1b1P” endmod:0 “[(8U[(st12vp10H”   Edit the last line above so that it reads as follows: endmod:0 “[(8U[(st12vsbp10H”   Save the file (text only format) and exit Word.   Use the MakePRD utility to convert the text file back to a PRD file by typing the following: MAKEPRD -P HPLASTAX.PRD HPLASTAX.DOC 

For more information on the MakePRD utility, refer to Chapter 6 of the “Printer Information for Microsoft Word” version 5.00 or 5.50 manual.
