Problem

Symptoms: A customer was printing a document with line draw to an NEC Silentwriter LC-890 printer. The font being used was Courier. If only one or two lines of line draw are in the document the file will print but very slowly. If any more lines are added the printer is activated but does not print. Printer control shows that the job has been sent. The same document does printer int 5.0.

When the user looked in the 5.0 printer driver under Internal Fonts and found that there was an option for Courier Line Draw in three font sizes. The customer used all three in the document. In 5.1 these fonts do not appear and cannot be selected. The reason why there are no line draw fonts in 5.1 is because line draw characters are graphically created. They were also graphically created in 5.0 but only when using the line draw fonts, in 5.1 they are created with any courier font selection.

** An option for troubleshooting this problem could be to set the printers timeouts to infinity. To do this change the control panel on the printer. Ask the user to look in their printer manual for the instructions. Solutions: Time out was fixed on this printer. In 5.0 we graphically created the line draw fonts. In 5.1 because there is no line draw characters the program will automatically create line draw graphically. Graphics will take a longer time to print. The new program SCN (3/30/90) says under printing that PS will print faster bitmapped graphics. Disks to send: Program 1,2; Printer 1,2,3,4
