The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The Courier 12cpi font is not listed for the HP LaserJet 4 printer driver. Solutions: The HP LaserJet 4 printer does not have a Courier 12cpi font. To verify this, simply do a font test on the printer. WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS did not have this font listed with the HP LaserJet 4 either. The only Courier font for the HP LaserJet 4 is a Courier scalable font.

However, the customer can trick the printer into using the scalable Courier font to print Courier 12cpi. There are two ways to have an HP printer select a font. One is to send a font ID number to the printer requesting a certain font. The other is to send a description of the font to the printer and the printer will find a font that meets the description and print it.

The customer can have WP send a description of the Courier 12cpi by using a simple workaround. To do this, select the HP S1 cartridge for the HP 4 printer. This will add the Courier 12cpi font to the font list and WP will send a description of the font to the printer. When the printer sees the description for the Courier 12cpi font, it will use the Courier scalable font to reproduce the desired font. This is the only way this printer can print a Courier 12cpi font.
