Generic Text Print Formatting Issue

Hey All,

I've got an issue with a HP OfficeJet (inkjet) 470 printer whereby it's font for Generic / Text only printing is different to the font used by the HP LaserJet printers. There are some particular reports that are fed as "raw" to the printer and they print perfect on any of the LaserJets but the OfficeJet prints the font larger and as such the reports go off the page and don't look the way they should.

Anyone got any ideas on how to change or override the font on the Officejet to match that of the Laserjets?

Cheers

By "raw" i mean that the application that does the print (by the looks of it) doesn't include any formatting, it just goes "print 5 spaces, print |, print CUSTOMER, print 10 spaces, print |, print carriage return". So it doesn't matter whether I use the Generic Text driver or the proper driver I still get the same (ok on laserjet, dodgy on inkjet) print out. I suppose it really is the "Font Selection" tab in Printer Properties that needs to be modified but I'm not sure what or what type of values those boxes accept.|
