Sprinkled Text in IDW

I had this problem in V5.3, not it has cropped up again. Problem is best
described as the text in the idw are sprinkled across the printed page.

Before, I had changed print drivers and it fixed the problem. I seem to
remember that there were a couple of settings that had to be changed to make
the text print properly. One of them was "Print text as Graphics" but I
can't remember what the second one was.

Anyone know??

Thanks
Kirk

P.S. My current print driver is a HP Laserjet 5Si. My printer is a Lanier
5245.

Interesting, we have an HP 5Si and the only thing I do is turn on "Print text as
Graphics". No other setting changes.

I'm at home so I can't check, but I think set your printer to print PCL5e?

I found the problem after trial and error. I had to set "Print Text as
Graphics" and unchecked "Use Printer Fonts". This fixed my problem.

I am now using the Lanier 5245 PCL6 Driver.

Just guessing....
Some of my text did it to, only on the print.
I found out Inventor had changed the name of the font I had been using in 5.0. Other colleagues did not experience this, but you could see on the print that the fonts was wrong.
