The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

If you are using the MoreFonts driver version 1.0 for the HP LaserJet II, and
you run Microsoft Windows Control Panel, select Printers, and select the Printer
Setup Option, there is no option in the Printer Setup dialog box to change the
paper orientation from portrait to landscape.

CAUSE
=====

This driver, which is available from MicroLogic to support its printer fonts,
does not support landscape mode.

WORKAROUND
==========

The only workaround for this problem is to remove the MicroLogic MoreFont driver
and install an HP LaserJet II driver provided with Windows, the SDL, or HP. You
will lose the printer fonts from MoreFonts, but will be able to print in
landscape mode.

================
