- I'm running Borland's Objectvision 2.1 with Windows 3.1. I'm having
- trouble getting my printer (DESKJET 500) to print what's on my screen.
- Here's an ASCII sample of my graphical problem.

- Visualize the 'graphical' border as being the same size in each example
- but the text shrunk. Actually, the graphical border stays in proportion
- (as far as I can tell) but the text shrinks (relative to the outline).
- The text shrinks throughout my form but it's easier to illustrate with
- the attached graphical border.
-
- The font I'm currently using is Courier 10 (I've also tried CG Times).
- I'm using HP's new Deskjet Driver's for Windows 3.1 (I forget the
- version of the Driver). I've tried the TrueType fonts without success
- as well as the standard font sets for the Deskjet. I've explained the
- problem to HP, Microsoft and Borland and naturally they say it's someone
- elses problem.

- 1) Anyone seen this specific problem?
-
- 2) Anyone seen this problem in other Windows applications?
-
- 3) Any ideas how to correct this? Is it something simple?
