[comp.sys.ibm.pc] FormTool vs HPLJII vs Pacific Data 25-in-1 cartridge

mvolo@ecsvax.UUCP (Michael R. Volow) (08/24/89)

Is there anyone who is using the form generating program, FormTools
with an HPLJ II, with a Pacific Data 25-in-1 font cartridge installed?
They have no driver for this particular cartridge, just for the bare
HPLJ II, or for most of the individual HP font cartridges (they use
a separate driver for each cartridge). I am able to print forms in
10 pitch on many of the fixed pitch cartridges. But when I try to
print with a 12-pitch cartridge (e.g. D) selection, it prints in 10
pitch with lines partially wrapped. Does anyone out there have this
combination of hardware and software and been able to make it work?

In addition, after printing, the HPLJ goes off line and gives a PC
????? EXEC message, cured bye resetting the printer. Any help would
be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
