Unreadable printer options on Windows 2000 Server

I have a problem with some printers on a Windows 2000 Server: the text of
the options in the Printing Preferences or the Printer Properties > Device
Settings windows is totally unreadable as it's represented as the Unicode
unprintable glyph...

This problem arise:
- with HP and Xerox printers;
- only with the Postscript drivers, not the PCL drivers;
- on the server and the clients, unless the driver has been locally
installed on the workstation.

The server is a Windows 2000 5.00.2195 with service pack 4 and I can
reproduce the problem with a Xerox WorkCentre Pro C2636 (Xerox Postscript
driver version 4.100.30.0U 2005.02.25) and a HP LaserJet 1320 (HP Postscript
driver 60.41.41.0)

If anybody has a clue...

Best regards,

Georges Martin
 
You probably have the pscript driver for some other language installed on
your server. Check this looking at the properties of the PS5ui.dll and
pscript5.dll files, version, lanuage.
