- Question: When I print with my laser printer all the printing comes out in
- an extremely small point size.
-
- Answer: Before you print for the first time with a laser printer, be sure
- to select a font and point size from the font menu. When DDP is
- installed defaults are set up for the font and point size. If your
- system or printer does not have this font the results are
- unpredictable.
-
- Question: I have shell printing turned on and I drop a Microsoft Word for
- Windows document on DDP. Nothing happens.
-
- Answer: Microsoft Word for Windows does not support shell printing.
-
- Question: I have a file that have everything lined up in nice columns. When
- I print the file with Drag and Drop Printing, the columns do not
- line up.
-
- Answer: Check what font your are using. There are two types of fonts that
- Microsoft Windows supports. The first type is a monospaced font.
- Each character in a monospaced is the same width. Most printers
- default to a monospaced font. The second type of font is a
- proportional font. Different characters have differnet widths in a
- proportional font. For example a 'M' takes more room to print than an
- 'I'. Most TrueType fonts are proportional. If you lined up the
- columns in your file with a monospaced font, the will not print
- correctly with a proportional font.
