The information in this article applies to:
Documents formatted for the font Brougham, point size 12, and "Auto" line spacing in Microsoft Word for Windows are incorrectly spaced when using the Brother HL-8 printer driver (BROHL.DRV).
The Brother HL-8 printer emulates the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Series II. The Brother's internal Brougham font is equivalent to the LaserJet's Courier font, which is normally spaced at 6 lines per inch. The Brother driver sets "Auto" line spacing for the Brougham 12-point font to 5 lines per inch instead of 6 lines per inch.
Workaround:
To obtain the correct line spacing when using the Brougham 12-point font, format the text for "Single" line spacing instead of "Auto" in the Format Paragraph menu.
Brother has confirmed this to be a problem with its BROHL.DRV driver version 1.0, which is included in the Microsoft Windows version 3.0 Supplemental Driver Library.
