MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Original printer does not have the LinePrinter font as an internal font. The internal fonts are portrait and landscape Courier 12. When the LaserJet Original is selected in the Print Options “model:” field when using an HP LaserJet printer driver, the Format Character “font name:” field will not contain the LinePrinter font as one of the listed fonts.

The HP LaserJet B cartridge supplies a landscape version of the LinePrinter font. If the B cartridge is in the printer, the LinePrinter font can be accessed in Word version 5.00 by selecting the LaserJet Plus in the Print Options “model:” field and using the landscape printer driver HPLASLAN.PRD.

The LaserJet Plus printer has LinePrinter as an internal font. LinePrinter will be listed under the Format Character “font name:” field if the LaserJet Plus is selected from Print Options “model:”. The LinePrinter font can then be used with the HP LaserJet Original.
