Please forgive me if I am using an incorrect protocol. I
am in a large, networked office. We probably have about
150 networked work stations. We recently converted to
Windows XP from Windows NT. Since converting, when I (and
others) use right hand justified margins in Word 2002, we
frequently find that when the job is printed, within a
single line, the spacing of letters within words may be
irregular to the point that it is sometimes difficult to
read the words. I have word-of-mouth advice that there
are some printer driver "issues" with Windows XP.
However, I am seeking more precise information on this
phenomenon as it is becoming a point of controversy in our
office. Thank you.
 
Ken, WIndows NT used Level 2 (kernel mode) drivers and
WIndows XP use Level 3 (user mode) drivers. I am not sure
how your office is configured for printing but it sounds
like you need to load the newer drivers on your print
queues so you can use the new level 3 drivers. Are your
print queues hosted on NT still or WIndows 2000?
