Re need advice re a new laser printer

[Patricia M Godfrey pmgodfrey@xxxxxxxx]

The business of font switching is very interesting. I only wish I had a
tenth of Bill Troop's ability to ID a font at a glance. When I printed to
the DJ 855C with the LJ2P driver, Antique Olive, CGOmega, and CG Times
all came out looking (to my inexpert eyes) like the same font: an old
style serif, but not as tall and narrow as Elegant Garamond. The accented
letters were OK, but neither smart quotes, dashes, nor ellipses printed.
Clarendon printed as a heavy sans, Coronet like the italic of whatever
was being substituted for Antique Olive, CG Omega, and CG Times.
When the same file was printed to the LJ 4000N, the resultant fonts
looked very much like the TrueType fonts with those names under Windows

As for PostScript, I've discovered that POST47.prn causes problems on
really large files, at least for PRINTF and then running the file through
PDF creator. Post13, which is later, works better, but of course gives
you fewer fonts.

By the by, www.fixyourownprinter.com has a table showing what print
engine is running under various printer models.
