SUMMARY

When using the original HP LaserJet, LaserJet Plus, or LaserJet 500 Plus printer with the Y cartridge, lines drawn with the cursor line draw feature do not print correctly even though the graphics characters are available in the Courier font on the Y cartridge.

Second, perform the following steps:

Use the MAKEPRD utility to convert the file to text in order to make the following changes in the model blocks of the printer models mentioned above:

Change the line:

LinedrawFlag:1 LinedrawFont:0

to the following line:

LinedrawFlag:0 LinedrawFont:1

Then, change the FontsNotSupported line to read as follows:

FontsNotSupported:NIL
