Pagemaker 6.5 and Windows 2000... a safe

These issues are common in desktop publishing (dtp).

1. I'd make sure all the drivers for the printers are correct. Since both your printers are postcript (ps) aware, make sure you install the correct postcript version of the printer driver. Usually HP has two sets. One for office printing and one for ps printing.

Since I'm more familiar with postscript aspect of the printing, the following are for postscript printing.

2. The printer is printing in courier because, the rip (raster image processer) on the printer don't know how to deal with the fonts used in the documents. So, it just say that's what I can do. One thing to note is for dtp, postscript always use two fonts as one set. One for screen display and one for the printer. In your case the printer font might be missing even though screen font is there (as you can see it correctly).

Continued from above..

Make sure both are installed for all the fonts used in the document. You can use Adobe Type Manager (ATM) to check if all the fonts are installed correctly. Postscript fonts are very different from true type fonts (ttf extension) that windows usually uses, which use one font both for display and printing.

3. Also one issue to note is in dtp it is better to use a bold ps font rather than using normal ps font clicking the bold button to make it bold. Postscript printers have problems with it.

These are what I can think of. If anything, W2K is suppose to make printing for dtp easier, not harder. Hope That Helps.
