Check your device description for that printer. It sounds like HPT is doing the conversion to graphics on the i rather than sending text and font info to the printer. This works, but you have to have the AFP fonts installed on the i. If HPT can't find the exact font specified in afpds, it'll start switching to something "close". If you only have the default AFP fonts installed, it'll wind up with something like you describe.
It's better to let HPT convert everything to PCL and use the printer fonts. Of course, that means you have to have fonts installed on the printer or true type fonts available to iSeries Access. Make sure you have true type fonts available that are similar to the AFP fonts. Check your printer configuration on Windows and make sure it is set to RAW, HPT will do the whole conversion to PCL.

Subject: iSeries Access printing and HPT font issue
Printing to my parallel attached HP 1200.
Remote through a Windows Term Sserver 2008 iSeries Access printer session (v6r1 w/latest svc pck) w/HPT checked and *HP5 selected (IBM recommend from list) The *scs prints fine.
The *afpds spools all print courier 10 ??
Some fonts in large bold print large black lines across page.
Same spools to local lan hp printers w/hpt print these fine for years.
I know hpt supports converting *afpds.
Any ideas?
Jim Franz
