How do I change the font style that my printer prints?

White font, black spreadsheet = just black? (HP Laserjet4000)?

• At work I print alot of colorcoded spreadsheets. The headers for all of these are black with white font. When I print, It just comes out black. On some spreadhsheets it will show the white font if i make the backgroung the dark (almost black) grey color. but not always. How do i change my settings so that my laserjet prints the font as white on the black background? We have another printer here and it prints fine, but it is a tektronix (uses wax) and takes for ever to print, also the laserjet is at my desk.. so i need to make it work here.

• Answer:

  You need to increase the size of the font. If it is too small then the laserjet ink may not be able to be segregated. This is known as bleeding. Once you increase the size of the font, or choose a different font, it should print better.
