The font is loaded on the server.  The issue seems to be the 2000 server
version of the HP driver.  It just doesn't print as bold as the XP =
version
of the driver. =20

Font substitution maybe?  Is the font used loaded on the terminal =
server?

If there is a print text as graphic option in the print driver you could =
try
that as well.  Although this will drive up the size of the print job
dramatically.

Here is the issue:

Software is in-house document management software
Printer is HP LJ 4100DTN with internal JetDirect card
Client is Windows XP SP1, Citrix 6.31.1051
Server is Windows 2000 SP3, Metaframe XP FR2
Both the client and the TS are running the latest PCL6 driver.  In =
this=3D20
case, the Win2k driver is the same file as the WinXP driver.  The =
version=3D20
date of the driver is 2/10/2003. (The software talks to the PCL driver =
so
I'm stuck with PCL).

When the client prints directly to the printer the documents format=3D20
correctly.  If the TS prints directly or if the client prints from =
an=3D20
auto-created printer, then the formatting is wrong.  Specifically, =
the=3D20
'bold" characters are not "bold" enough.

Any thoughts?  I wouldn't mind changing printers or printing methods.
BTW,=3D20 this app is used in 6 offices and each office has 2 printers
dedicated to=3D20 printing for this app.

I'm thinking of setting up a test 2003 TS to see if the 2/10/2003 driver
for=3D20 the 4100 will function the same as it does on an XP machine.  =
This
would

also solve the issue that I have 38 Win98 clients who need to use this =
app.


Thanks,

Ryan
