Hi All,

I've ran into issues printing coupons to my Laserjet 1100 printer using Windows 8.1. This worked with no issues (and still does) in Windows 8. Looking at the driver versions, it appears that something was updated form 8 to 8.1.It seems this issue is related to printing any barcodes. Has anyone else encounters this? Is there any way I can use the Windows 8 driver instead?

Hi,

Did this issue just occur for barcodes?

If yes, It might be caused by the barcode font. Please download the right font.

There is a public fix for this issue if the barcodes you are printing do not use the same X Y resolution

The graphics rendering fix impacting 9pin devices is in this Win 8.1 Rollup release

Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 update rollup: January 2014

Thanks for the update. I have the update applied but the issue is still there. Is there some font or driver I can pull from Windows 8 as the issue is not there?

For anyone interested, the way I was able to fix this issue is with the HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6

I selected Windows 8.1 x64, then downloaded the PCL5 driver and now the barcodes work.

I had this problem, and this does solve the issue.  I misunderstood your instructions initially and installed the PCL6 driver the first time, which does not work correctly.    Thanks Nico6266.

Thank you! 
I had the same problem and your solution helped me as well :)
