Summary:

In Microsoft Word, when you use a monospace screen or bitmapped font, such as Monaco or Dover, and print to the ImageWriter or ImageWriter II printer using Apple’s ImageWriter driver software, the expected number of characters per inch (pitch) may not be produced on the printed copy.

To work around this problem, you can use the Typewriter printer driver supplied with Word. However, various formatting (for example, font information, graphics, italics, etc.) will not appear in the resulting printout.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
