I have a weird problem with my laserprinter. It is a Philips NMS1480,
this is exactly the same laserprinter as the new Toshiba and Epson
laserprinters. I think the engine is made by TEC. This laserprinter
should be HP LjII compatible but sometimes there is to much room
between adjacent letters in a word. This occurs mostly with O's and
U's and occasionaly with other letters. However in most words the O's 
and U's are properly placed. I use PCTEX and Nelson Beebe's excellent
dvijep driver. When I print the same file on an original HP LjII
everything is OK, so the problem must be in the laserprinter.

Has anyone experienced this problem before and is there a solution?
My version of the Beebe drivers is 2.10b, is there a new driver and
where can I get it? (I have ftp). I have also seen that  there is a 
special dvihp2 driver, perhaps this is the solution. Could some
kind soul tell me where it's available?

Thanks in advance
