Vertical Text and the HP Color LaserJet 46xx printer

I have some reports that are set up vertically and for years I have been
printing them successfully on a number of HP Color LaserJet 4500 printers.
The 4500 are being replaced by 46xx [we got a 4600 a year or so ago and a
4650 today.] The 4600's don't rotate the font 90 degrees in order make use
of the vertical aspect. Actually it doesn't even look like the correct font.
Any help?

Thanks,

Bill
 
Several areas to investigate:
In the Printer Driver setup:
1) DO NOT select "use Printer Fonts" or "Substitute Printer Fonts". In
other words NO font mapping/substitution.

2) Try different output formats(EMF, RAW etc.)

3) Only certain fonts now rotate reliably under the later version of
Access. ANother user with this issue reported the following:

Evidently, there is a bug in Access. Here's the paper on it:

Seems that only about 3 fonts will show in vertical mode. (One of them
is
Ariel CYR).


Oh well....

I changed all the fonts to Arial CYR and it works again. Thanks for the
help. I am still puzzled why these reports were fine on every printer in the
house except those Color 4600's. So I'm guessing CYR stands for "Can't You
Read"...

Thanks again,

Bill
