#HP Deskjet Probs
2 messages in this thread
Hope someone can help me…
I currently have the HP Deskjet hooked to my 1000 and everything runs fine,
except for the fact that none of my font cartridges seem to work "correctly".
I have two carts currently installed in the printer, "D" (TmsRmn) and "G"
(Helv). When I, for instance, select the Helvetica and then attempt to do a
copy to PRT: from CLI, prior to beginning to print it defaults back to its
internal Courier font and begins to print. No matter what I do, it seems to
always default back to Courier. I checked my Preferences and it seems fine and
I have the 1.3 driver which I received as part of their gamma testing from my
partner who received it from Commodore. Am I doing something wrong? Help!

Tom,
From what I understand, PRT: initializes the printer, resetting it to
default. You might try printing to PAR: to make it transparent or adding a
command string-file to send through PAR: to set up the printer to the proper
settings. If you include the proper ESC codes, or however its done on your
printer, it should work fine. Another thing is to imbed the printer control
sequence in your file. That method will allow you to use PRT: properly, as it
will initalize the printer, and then set it to your liking. I've used all
these methods and they all work.
