Hi Tim,

 

Okay, I’ll try that out.

 

Thanks.

Ed,

It sounds like you're using a PostScript driver. I think that printer will 
support PCL6 also so you might try installing the PCL6 driver.

Note that you can have more than one driver installed for a single printer. So 
if the PCL6 driver works better for DPSpool but you still want to use the 
PostScript driver for everything else, you can.

Hi Tim.

It's a Xerox Phaser 6180MFP-D PS.

I installed the driver from Xerox.

I'll keep tinkering with the properties to see if anything changes.

Thanks.

Ed.

Hi Ed,

Have you tried tinkering around with the driver settings for that printer? Some 
printers have a setting that lets you print text as either text or bitmap 
graphics. You might try playing with that setting if the driver supports it.

Sometimes the driver that gets auto-installed by Windows has different features 
or behaves differently from the driver that comes from the manufacturer (i.e. 
on a CD or via download from the printer maker's site). If you've tried 
tinkering with all of the settings you can find in the driver you have, look to 
see if there's an update to the driver available from the mfg, or try 
uninstalling the mfg driver and let Windows find a driver on its own update 
site. Ultimately, it's in the printer driver where the rubber really meets the 
road (or where the ink really meets the paper) and some drivers are just plain 
quirky.

What's the specific model of the Xerox Phaser you've got?

Here is something that is quite strange with DPSPOOL;

I have a report that print text on graphics.  On HP or Brother printers and 
even to a PDF file no problem.  But printing on a Xerox Phaser it only prints 
the graphics but not the text (similar to what the older version of DPSpool 
used to do).  I’m forced to have to print to a PDF file then print the PDF file 
to the Xerox printer.  Not very efficient.

Is there anyone who has any idea what could be causing this and how to fix?

 

Thanks,

Ed.
