Hello, I have a problem.

At work, there are public computers. Users can select from different keyboard input locales, and that's great except there seems to be a problem printing some Greek and Russian characters. i am not sure of the exact detail of the problem, but a user showed me his work... two printers exactly the same model printed out the same document BUT from 2 different computers. One printer printed it out correctly but the other, from a different computer as well, did things like: add spaces where none should be, where there were a lot of symbols used (ie, in maths equations); left out symbols that were inserted. So, i guess it's not the actual language so much as the symbols (Insert - Symbol) when different input locale for keyboard was select. Maybe there's a problem with the character map?

Any one out there know about Keyboard input locales and supporting printing in different languages?

Thanks

From which application are printing the text - Word? IE? Adobe Reader?

Are the necessary fonts installed on both PCs?

Printing from Word. I'm not sure if the necessary fonts are installed, where do I check?

I'm of the view that your problem is not a hardware problem as all the kit is working. I suggest you re-post in forum68 giving details of which versions of Word and Windows you using, your system locale and your printer & driver.
