>Subject: Printed output different - not WYSIWYG

Dear all,

A colleague of mine has the following problem:

He is using the new I-book with OS X and AppleWorks 6.  The underlined book
titles in his text document appear in one line, i.e. _This is an Example_
, but when printed over the network to an HP 4050N PCL6, it appears as
_This_ _is_ _an_ _Example_ (each word is underlined, but the spaces between
the words are NOT underlined.  He doesn't want it this way.  I could not
find any options in AppleWorks6 to change that.

My question: 
Why doesn't he get true WYSIWYG?  Is this a printer driver issue, or
PostScript vs. True Type Font? (I am guessing) or does AppleWorks 6 always
print each word underlined separately?  (Only his machine has AppleWorks6,
so I can't test it myself).

Thank you for taking the time to read about this problem.


Olaf
