On behalf of a friend, I'm wondering about a problem he's
having with MS Word (both 4.0 and 5.0).  He's trying to
print over PC Network to an HP Laserjet. His attributes
don't make it (font, bold, italic, etc.).  What he gets out
is just Courier.  The printer has the TMS proportional 1
cartridge in it.  His Word printer driver is HPLASRRMN.PRD.

Anybody else run into this bag of weirdnesses?  (Best argument
for a Postscript printer I ever heard!)  Anyway, please send
email or post as appropriate for you if you can help.

I run both Word 4.0 and 5.0 over a Novell Netware LAN, to an HP Laserjet,
and use the TMS prop. 1 cart.  The only difference is that I use the
printer driver written specifically for that cartridge only.  This driver   
is HPLASPS.PRD.  Although the driver supports ONLY the B cart, you could
obviously merge it with another driver....  See if this works., as I've had
no problems.
