I have a HP ThinkJet printer, I used the control panel to set it up, and it print fine for text files. But when it come to WRITE and using different fonts, it won't work anymore, printing garbage. Is it that my HP ThinkJet can not print graphics? Do I have to live with that? Or is there a driver around that can solve my printing .WRI files problem. I try switching the printer from HP mode to Alt mode which should be compatible to Epson MX-80, MX-100, or IBM graphics, the lines are out, but the printer don't form feed, so everything is on ONE line. If I switch the line feed "ON", I got 3 rows of character for each row. I look at the printer manual and find out that the HP can only advance one row at a time, but the Epson can advance 1/3 of a row. Again, is there a way to get around the problems. As a side issue, I also use PCTEX, and there is no driver for this stupid HP ThinkJet, too. I have a PTI Jet Demo, I try and it too doesn't print right.
