Windows®, the driver software that is supplied by the printer
manufacturer handles all the tasks of printing. When a document prints
out fine on one type of a printer but not on another, the source of the
problem can be traced to the printer manufacturer's drivers. Our
astrology software uses special fonts and advanced printing functions
(for printing glyphs and wheels) which are not used by most other
software. Therefore, it sometimes reveals glitches in printer drivers
that other programs won't encounter. Currently, our software has no
known bugs in its printing output. Installing a newer or different
driver or, sometimes, just reinstalling your current driver will
usually fix any problems. These drivers are updated frequently by the
manufacturer and you may not have the latest driver even if you
purchased the printer today. Be sure to check out the manufacturer's
web site because the drivers supplied by Microsoft at the Windows
update site are not always the latest or greatest drivers.
Occasionally, we have had problems with some
Lexmark and
HP
printers. These problems are due to the printer drivers supplied by
those manufacturers. HP has the best hardware available but sometimes
their drivers do have problems.
Lexmark drivers seem to be
especially buggy and we recommend going with a different manufacturer.
Lexmark printers are the cheapest but their ink cartridges are also the
most expensive; you will not save money in the long run.
Also, please refer to the section on glyphs
if your astro glyphs are missing or printing incorrectly. This can
sometimes be due to problems with the installation of the astro glyph
font in the Windows system.
