[comp.laser-printers] Downloading HP fonts over a Novell Network

benderly@CS.COLUMBIA.EDU (Dan Benderly) (12/21/89)

I am responsible for a Novell 2.15SFT network with a Hertz 386/25 server,
and 5 attached printeers.  The connections to two of the printers go through
Parallel/serial covertors, although I don't think that is relevant.

The problem I am having is that I can't get down-loadable fonts to work!
This problem has shown up in every program I have tried -- Windows, Word,
and Word Perfect, so it seems to have something to do with Novell.  The same
setup works on a local printer, as well as on a Lantastic network elsewhere.

I'm stumped.  Any ideas???

Be sure that you can really send binary data (00..ff) all the way from your
application to the printer.
