Can you print from other applications such as Excel, Powerpoint, etc?<br>

Could just need a driver update.<br>

Thank You for your response carty I can print from other apps.

I would still go for a driver update. Also, your printer setup dialog will give you a yes/no choice on whether or not to print text as graphics. Which ever way you have it set, try the other. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...

Another thing to try is selecting the Always spool RAW datatype option in the Print Processor screen in the printers properties.<br>

Is the HP LaserJet 4 Plus a networked printer or locally attached to your PC?<br>
<br>
If it is locally attached does your machine have the parallel port mode set to ECP? Change the parallel port mode to EPP, SPP or compatible.<br>
<br>
If your printer is a networked printer does it print to a Novell queue? I have seen printing to the UNC path not print symbols and just leaves them blank. Capture the queue to a printer port.<br>
