I received so many excellent responses to my last query of your group I thought I would try again. My problem is getting my system to print out the mathematical symbols that Mathematica shows on the screen. I am talking about greek letters like lamda, phi, and symbols like integral, partial derivative, etc. I have a fairly common IBM-PC compatible system running Windows 98 and a recent Hewlett Packard printer. When I try to print out a notebook, the symbols print as an empty rectangular box. Is there some sort of special font or printer driver that can correct this problem? If I print to a file, is there some sort of interpreter that can translate this for printing on my HP printer. The printer is not equiped with PostScript, but I do have an interpretor so I can print PostScript files. Thanks for all your help.
