[comp.laser-printers] LJ mathfonts cartridge

wfh58@LEAH.ALBANY.EDU (William F. Hammond) (01/26/90)

In my office environment there are two HP LaserJets (one a "Plus" and
the other a "II") both equipped with HP92286J Math Elite Font
Cartridges.  Although the cartridges were purchased a year apart,
their external markings are identical.

With the newer cartridge both printers refuse to accept 4 out of 10
characters that I hacked up for downloading (corresponding to symbols
not available on the cartridge) although both printers will accept
*all* of the characters with the older cartridge.  I should say also
that the same behavior was also observed in testing the two cartridges
on a third LaserJet.

Why is this?  Have there been any changes at all in the cartridges?
Are all of the cartridges produced at the same location?
