Thanks for all the ideas to try. I know it was a weird error Neil. I was surprised that it only printed about half the chinese charactors that were sent to it. I never thought to try printing it as an image though.
I will try the manufacturers web site for software up dates that will include simplified chinese charactors Vince.
I will try to print it as a PDF file too Larry.
Shaun,
I was using microsoft word for XP. I was trying to print it on a HP deskjet 4200 printer. It still baffles me as to why it would only print about half the charactors. You would think it would print all of them or none of them.
Ted,
I have an older hp deskjet printer that I still use because the ink was waterproof. (I think it still is) I will print up the address in english as well as chinese for the same reason. I would not want to get in a cab and tell him the wrong address by mistake and then find myself in a KTV bar, or worse a brothel! Or maybe in the wrong town. How would I explain that to my lady? :icon_cheesygrin: I can see her putting up posters all over china, "Lost one foreigner. 175 cm tall. Bald on top. Has canadian flag pin on shirt. Not worth much but want him back for sentimental reasons. Doesn't speak much chinese..." HAHAHA
Back on topic now, Thanks for all the tips to try. I will let you know what works.
