| 51517 | 2002-05-30 01:50:00 | Just want to make sure I'm on the right track before I dive in further :) I configured my printer under RedHat7.3 and it test prints fine Installed OpenOffice (great programme BTW) and it prints to the printer but *bolds* everything. Bearing in mind that I am working without manuals at this stage... I intend to look into OpenOffice with the view that the printer needs to be set up from there as well - Is this logical? |

| 51518 | 2002-05-30 04:17:00 | That's probably the cause ... I assume that this is Open Office documents which print bolded. Each document handling programme will have some (toolbar?) options to set the font and bold/italic etc for that document. There will also be a default set of attributes for every file created -- things like font, page size, margins etc. Those are the attributes whichj will be used unless you override them for a particular document. Use the Help in one of the programmes, and look for 'default'. There will be a way to save the defaults you want. |

| 51520 | 2002-05-30 21:47:00 | Thanks guys After more exploration, I think the problem might be that I'm using TT fonts that I imported from Windows. The original fonts from the Linux (adobe I think) print just fine. Maybe I need to get the extra fonts I (actually my sons) want in a specialised Linux format? |
